The short answer

NHTSA received GLAVAL BUS DIVISION’s report on Jun 4, 1997. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 24, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

IMPROPER TIGHTENING OF THESE WHEELS CAN, OVER TIME, CAUSE EXCESSIVE LOOSENING OF THE LUG NUTS, FRACTURE OF THE LUG STUDS, AND SEPARATION OF THE WHEEL FROM THE VEHICLE INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: GLAVAL CONVERSION VANS, 1995 CHEVROLET/GMC G-20 VANS EQUIPPED WITH TIPAN 15” X 7” WHEELS.

THERE IS INADEQUATE THREAD ENGAGEMENT ON THE WHEELS WHEN INSTALLED ON THESE VANS.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
