| Description of the problem | My son just called me and this is the second valve stem which has broken off, ending up with a flat tire. He was attempting to unscrew the valve stem cap when the stem broke off and the tire went flat. The first one which broke, similar situation, appeared to have defective metal or flaw. I believe this component should last the life of the vehicle (unless damagae through an accident or similar). |
