| Description of the problem | Front right wheel went flat and suspected tire had a small leak. Dealer inspected and indicated the wheel was cracked, causing the leak. While waiting for a replacement, a vehicle inspection indicated the left front wheel was also cracked, though not yet leaking air. The vehicle had been dealer-serviced with oem run-flat tires. Dealer indicated that this was not the first time they had seen it. I opted to purchase aftermarket wheels as replacements as originals were obviously fragile, and expensive. Date is estimated as it's not certain when the wheel crack actually occurred. Dealer service completed on that date. |
