Abstract
A heavy duty vehicle hubcap preferably made from a plastic material and having a sidewall, an end wall with a transparent window insert formed therein, and further including a radial mounting flange. The hubcap also includes an access port formed in the hubcap body sidewall and a vent plug removably positioned in liquid tight relation within the access port defined in the hubcap. Preferably, the hubcap is vented to permit passage of gas and vapor therethrough without permitting liquid to pass into the sealed region.
