NHTSA Complaint #11265332 — 2018 CHEVROLET CORVETTE

VEHICLE WAS AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHEN DASH INDICATOR SHOWED THAT THE PASSENGER REAR TIRE WAS RAPIDLY LOSING AIR PRESSURE. CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP WHERE THEIR TECHNICIAN DISCOVERED THAT THE PASSENGER REAR WHEEL WAS CRACKED. THE CRACK WAS NOT DUE TO STRIKING ROAD DEBRIS OR A POTHOLE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALER REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE COST OF A REPLACEMENT WHEEL SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED AS PART OF THE VEHICLE WARRANTY BECAUSE OF A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT.
