NHTSA Complaint #11420494 — 2019 CHEVROLET CORVETTE

Upon tire change, 3 cracks noted in right passenger wheel. Problem diagnosed at Discount Tire (1475 Austin Hwy, San Antonio, TX 78209) on 6/5/2021. No known obvious road hazards or incidents that could have explained wheel fractures. Due to severity of wheel cracks, it was not even safe to drive home from Discount Tire (per the technicians there). There was concern for eminent wheel failure that would risk loss of control of car and injury to self/others. Car was left there until new wheel can be ordered and shipped. Upon review of internet, this is a recurring problem owners of this model of Corvette have been reporting. There is concern for design issues, wheel selection, and tire selection leading to repeated wheel failures. More wheel failures are expected in the future raising concerns for potential safety risks.
