Wheel Leaks

WARNING: Wheel repairs that use welding or peening are not approved. An inner tube is not an acceptable repair for leaking wheels or tires.

If the air pressure in a tire mounted on an aluminum wheel is found to be low, carry out the following procedure. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.

1. Remove the tire and wheel assembly and inspect the wheel for structural damage. If the wheel is damaged, install a new wheel.
