Consumer Description

TPMS ALERTED US OF A LOW TIRE. WHEN TAKEN TO REPAIR WE WHERE NOTIFIED THE LEFT REAR RIM WAS CRACKED AND LEAKING AIR. CAR WAS ONLY DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY, NO ROUGH ROADS...WHAT WOULD CAUSE THE RIM TO CRACK? I UNDERSTAND THE UK'S NTSB HAS ISSUED A RECALL AS BMW ADMITTED THAT THEIR WHEELS HAD DEFECTIVE ALLOY METAL CAUSING THE RIMS TO BREAKDOWN. HOWEVER, BMW OF NORTH AMERICA HAS NOT ADMITTED TO ANY DEFECTIVE METAL AND HAS NOT ACCEPTED RESPONSIBILITY. HOPE THIS GETS REVIEWED FOR SAFETY BEFORE SOME GETS PHYSICALLY INJURED OR DIES AS A RESULT OF THESE DEFECTIVE WHEELS. HAVING REVIEWED THE FORUM, THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THESE DISCUSSIONS REGARDING CRACKED RIMS ON BMWS. THIS IS NOT A ONE CASE INCIDENT, THEREBY WARRANTS FURTHER INVESTIGATION. *TR
