NHTSA Complaint #11539060 — 2017 CHEVROLET CORVETTE

Passenger side rear wheel developed a crack causing an air leak. Defect was acknowledged and wheel was replaced under a purchased extended warranty specific for tires and wheels. I purchased this warranty specifically due to the common complaint of cracked wheels on this model line (Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport), built between 2017 - 2019. With the slow leak, this damaged wheel did not present itself immediately. I drove the vehicle for an undetermined amount of miles, but it is safe to assume at least 3k miles as I would add air to the effected tire/wheel multiple times assuming it was due to ambient air temperature changes. A mechanically defective wheel could prove to disastrous and lfe threatening at highway speeds should a catastrophic failure occur. Approx. mileage was 22k miles on vehicle. Only error was the TPMS "Low Pressure" Warning.
