TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI EQUUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWDER COATING FROM EACH WHEEL DETACHED AND LODGED BETWEEN THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS CAUSING THE BRAKING SYSTEM TO MALFUNCTION AND THE BRAKING DISTANCE TO BE EXTENDED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED TO ALL FOUR WHEELS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER - BRANDON HYUNDAI LOCATED AT 9915 E ADAMO DR, TAMPA, FL 33619, WHERE THE DEBRIS WAS REMOVED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED BY A POWDER COATING EXPERT THAT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A FAULTY POWDER COATING APPLICATION PROCESS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100.
I WAS DRIVING ON A TWO LANE ROD IN LAUREL, MARYLAND. MY CAR HIT A POTHOLE AND I GOT OUT TO LOOK AND DISCOVER THAT I HAD TWO FLAT TIRES ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE ROADSIDE ASSISTANT SHOWED ME THAT THE FRONT RIM WAS SPLIT AND THE BACK TIRE HAD A HOLE ON THE SIDE. THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENT CONCERNING THE FRONT WHEEL OF THE CAR. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECT.
