So with that, I’m going to re-iterate my thoughts on the product appearing to be unsafe to use. The manufacturer stated that they had several of these failures (but as a low percentage). These wheels have not been out there that long. So the failures seem to be happening in the first year of use, maybe less. So the failure rate is only low up until this point. That should not instill high confidence. Failure rates typically increase over time.
We have a second example courtesy of @Jpm5150 . His picture shows large cracks propagating around the core. Clearly these cracks would end in the same type of failure as was experienced by @rafaelinmissouri .
If Toyota had just one or two instances of metal fatigue on a critical component or wheels falling off, they would do a safety recall. Other manufacturers would wait until some customers died.
So given that this type of wheel failure is not an isolated incident and that the product could seriously injure or kill you, What are you going to do. Is your confidence really warranted when the manufacturer effectively says “don’t worry, its only happened a few times so far”
Thankyou to @rafaelinmissouri and @Jpm5150 for alerting the community.
