I spoke with Alcoa in late August and asked about their ceasing production.
I was told they do stop production for 3-4 months and then start another
production run. When I turned my "recall" Alcoa's in early September,
they were just starting another production run and Alcoa shipped 7 new
Alcoa's to me within several days; they did so just on my word that I had 7
qualified wheels. I purchased 6 new tires and Alcoa paid for the dismount
of the old tires off the old wheels and the mounting of the new tires on
the new Alcoa's (plus one old tire to use as a spare).
