| Description of the problem | 2006 ford f250 superduty crew cab 4x4 with factory 20x8 alloy wheels. Rt front wheel cracked with no impact. Crack is aprox 10" long and runs just below the bead for about 10" did not loose air. I was turning rt and felt a strange jolt kind of like the tire rolling off a small rock. Only felt it once. Continued driving to work. Later inspected the wheel and found the crack. Dealer says there is no recalls on these wheels. Called ford customer relations to be told they could not help. There are a number of postings on similar wheel cracks on internet forums. It appears to be an ongoing problem on these trucks in the 85000 mile range. ## vin failed ## |
