## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the 6\-spoke "monobloc" rear wheels were not properly heat treated and could develop cracks on the inside of the spokes.  The cracking, which is not necessarily visible to the naked eye, could affect the integrity of the wheels which could result in a loss of vehicle control.  Correction:  Dealers will replace the wheels.
