“2005 Ford CVPI - our municipal police agency owns a fleet of approximately 150 CVPI's that have rusting rims. The problem begins with the finish seemingly disappearing with clean metal visible that eventually rusts over. The local dealer reports no recalls associated with this problem. Was curious to know if this is a common occurrence and what safety issue this may pose if the rims continue to rust?”
