“I purchased a new 2008 Gmc yukon denali in january of 2008 .this car has 60000 miles on it and has never been in a accident .I have replaced all 4 tires on the truck due to a constant lose of air in the tires to find out after replacing the tires that the lose of air is due to the air leaking thru the rims .I understand that you are going to have wear and tear on a vehicle but in all of my 30 years of driving I have never heard of the rims going bad on a car. As I see it the rims are like the foundation of a house and should last the life of the truck . …”

NHTSA complaint #10715158, filed 2015-05, 500 miles

“Potential safety concern over tires losing air pressure due to leaks caused at tire/wheel interface. Root cause is that chrome plating on aluminum wheels are peeling, resulting in corrosion of the aluminum substrate causing inability to achieve proper sealing between the tire and the rim. It is known in the industry that chrome plating on aluminum has a limited life expectancy (approximately 2 years) before peeling of the chrome occurs...more robust coating methods are available, such as physical vapor deposition (pvd). ..
