“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. …”
