Wheel problem #1

On October 24, 2015 while following my wife home on hwy 182 between west pasco and richland my truck experience what felt like a tire blowout on the right rear wheel. I was traveling the speed limit at 70 mph. The road was level and flat with no debris on the road. I proceeded to change out my tire with the spare, thinking that the tire had a large bolt or nail in it. To my surprise, the tire was intact with no sign of damage. The factory rim had failed. Here are the facts of the situation: ¿2015 Chevrolet Silverado lt z71 with 12,366 miles ¿smooth highway surface on a clear day traveling straight at 70 mph with no debris on the road ¿not hauling or towing ¿single occupant in vehicle ¿the tire is intact (not damaged at all) ¿no damage to the right front wheel or tire or any other part of the vehicle ¿severe damage to the right rear rim ¿rim impacted the brake system hard enough to bend parts and cause leaking of brake fluid.
