Vehicle InspectionQuestion 19 of 120
Which wheel and rim condition requires the vehicle to be taken out of service?
a.Light surface rust on the rim
b.A missing hubcap
c.Mud packed in the wheel well
d.A cracked rim or a wheel with missing, loose, or broken lugs
Explanation
Cracked rims and missing or loose lug nuts can cause a wheel to separate from the vehicle and are out-of-service conditions. Surface rust, a missing hubcap, and packed mud are housekeeping issues rather than defects that make the wheel unsafe.
