The problem
In some 16 x 6 disc wheels a manufacturing defect may cause the wheels to crack in the drop center portion of the rim. If the crack were to occur on a wheel with a tube type tire mounted to it, and continued to go undetected, the wheel could split, resulting in a rapid loss of air from the tire.
The fix
The dealer will inspect each wheel and replace it if necessary, without charge.
