NOTE:
Please pay particular attention to the difference between affected wheel build dates and affected vehicle build dates.
NOTE:
Submission of an "M" program claim will not remove the vehicle from OASIS because the affected vehicles are eligible for subsequent repairs if the affected condition reoccurs during the program time and mileage period. Prior approval for all repairs under Program 04M05 is required.
