Description of the problem	I have a 2018 thor siesta motor home built on a mercedes benz 3500 chassis. I went on a 6700 mile cross country trip and upon return found the front passenger tire flat. A local shop discovered that the rim was leaking air from a bad weld spot/crack on the inside. I replaced the rim back on may 27, 2019. I then went on a 1000 mile round trip and the following day i noticed another flat tire this time on the inside rear dual on the passenger side. My local shop confirmed the same issue with a weld/crack on the inside of the rim on may 29, 2019. I had to replace that rim also. Both times i noticed the flat tires after parking the vehicle upon returning from long road trips. On the second wheel replacement, i was shown where the leak was detected which was at the corner of the inside weld spot. There are 8 weld spots on the inside of each rim. Each time there was air leaking at the site of a weld spot. I called my local mercedes benz dealership to inquire if there was a reported issue from the factory and was told no. I then called my motor home dealership with the same inquiry and was told that they have not been made aware of any such issue.
