| Wheel Rim problems |
The consumer noticed two cracked rims in 2001. The parts were replaced with Ford original part# f58z1015a. Later the consumer noticed three cracked wheels which were also replaced.
The welds on the wheel rims fail, and the rim leaks and has to be replaced. I contacted the Ford dealer and he told me he has not seen a history of failure, but the tire dealer said they have had to replace a lot of the rims due to leaks at the welds on 1997 Windstars.
2 front cracked wheel rims--rim had a crack--tire starting having slow leak---rim was replaced.
Right front rim cracked, causing tire to lose air. Please provide further information.
