Description of the problem	While making a u-turn traveling 3 to 5 mph, the rear right wheel sheared off at the axle leaving the truck sitting on the back side of the 20" rim. The wheel still had the brake assembly attached to the rim. The dealer had an investigator inspect the truck and in the report they said there was impact damage and they would not warranty the axle. I know the report has to be false. Besides the axle shearing the only other damage is scratches to the face of the rim, caliper bracket, and brake line. The wheel and tire are still usable. The truck only has 30,000 mile. *jb
