The tire on my truck kept leaking air down over a whole day. I would refill with air the next morning and would try and find where the leak was. Could not find any whole in the tire. When the service station took the wheel off the truck and put air into the tire we could hear air leaking out. We then located a crack in the aluminum wheel. We then located a second crack in the aluminum wheel. We then contacted a junk yard ( d&d, newcomers) about purchasing a used aluminum wheel Ford part # f 81a1007gb, both said that they do not sell this used wheel due to a manufacturing defect. We they ask if we could purchase a refurbished aluminum wheel and both again said that no one would refurbish the front part due to defect. I have contacted Ford motor company and the local Ford dealer hagerstown Ford service manager and they said that they know of no defect. We replaced the aluminum wheel with a new Ford aluminum wheel part # 4c3z1007kacp. I own a 99 Ford F-350 dual wheel truck.

1) event leading up to the failure: nothing noted. 2) failure and its consequences: the stock alloy front wheel on my Ford pickup has developed cracks and looses air. Visiting my local les schwab tire store, I was advised and shown where they had found multiple cracks and this now presents a safety issue in that this wheel cannot be run with a tube or repaired, but would have to be replaced. 3) what was done to correct the failure: the spare tire/wheel was rotated in its place. No long term replacement has been acquired as of yet. 1999, super duty, 4x4, dually, w/7. 3 liter diesel - front wheel.

The consumer had no idea how the crack happened, nor did the manufacturer. The crack was noticed about three weeks ago.

: the contact stated the vehicle's front wheel fractured and detached once and almost detached a second time. There were no warning signs that led up to the problems with the wheels. The first occurrence was in 2005 and completely detached and the second time, in 2006, after viewing the wheel the contact observed cracks in the wheel. The wheel was replaced before it completely fractured. The contact expressed the reason for the cracks was the way the wheel was mounted to the front hub which causes stress cracks in the wheel itself.
