2009 Lincoln MKZ Wheels Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1379382
Internal NHTSA #	10990809
Manufacurer	Ford Motor Company
Brand	LINCOLN
Model	MKZ
Model Year	2009
File date	21/05/17
Component	WHEELS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Due to poor wheel construction, the chrome plating on the lincoln oem wheels flakes off resulting in a failure of the tire to seal properly against the wheel. This failure to seal against the wheel causes a progressively worse air leak on every wheel. If an owner of this car is not aware or observant of the constantly declining air pressure, they could drive on dangerously under inflated tires, and potentially experience catastrophic tire failure. In particular, the wheels on my mkz leak to such an extent that every morning, i have to go outside and pump them up to the proper psi. Buying new lincoln wheels would result in the same problem as they are all affected by the same manufacturing defect. Many owners have resulted to buying aftermarket wheels, which i see as unacceptable as the original wheels should function properly and remain reliable for the life of the vehicle.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
