“I noticed a tire going down on my wife's 1999 Lincoln Town Car. When she took it in for repair, they found nothing wrong with the tire. However, the wheel had a crack across the bead ( not due to damage ). I had to order a remanufactured wheel at a cost of $155. I had to trade the old wheel in. Obviously, it could have been very dangerous. Not sure of the exact date, app. 1 yr. Ago. ( vehicle type box below would only offer incomplete vehicle as an option. This is not an incomplete vehicle. The only way I could proceed was to choose incomplete ).”
NHTSA complaint #10142346, filed 2005-11, 110,000 miles“This was a spontaneous failure of a cast aluminum wheel. Original equipment. It was not heat related, nor was there any kind of impact or collision. The wheel had not suffered any kind of previous damage. The tire is still in perfect condition. The rim exploded after a failure of the floor of the wheel. I have pictures.”
