Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The tire on my truck kept leaking air down over a whole day. I would refill with air the next morning and would try and find where the leak was. Could not find any whole in the tire. When the service station took the wheel off the truck and put air into the tire we could hear air leaking out. We then located a crack in the aluminum wheel. We then located a second crack in the aluminum wheel. We then contacted a junk yard ( d&d, newcomers) about purchasing a used aluminum wheel Ford part # f 81a1007gb, both said that they do not sell this used wheel due to a manufacturing defect. …”
NHTSA complaint #10310967, filed 2010-02, 121,459 miles“1)event leading up to the failure:nothing noted. 2)failure and its consequences:the stock alloy front wheel on my Ford pickup has developed cracks and looses air. Visiting my local les schwab tire store, I was advised and shown where they had found multiple cracks and this now presents a safety issue in that this wheel cannot be run with a tube or repaired, but would have to be replaced. 3)what was done to correct the failure:the spare tire/wheel was rotated in its place. No long term replacement has been acquired as of yet. 1999, super duty, 4x4, dually, w/7.3 liter diesel - front wheel.”
