What's wrong, in plain English
The steel chain that holds the spare tire in place underneath the vehicle may not have been welded strongly enough during manufacturing. A chain that is not welded well enough can break. If the chain breaks, it can no longer hold the spare tire in place, which would allow the tire to detach and fall away from the vehicle while it is being driven.
