What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 lincoln mkz. The contact stated that the chrome on all four wheels was flaking off and as a result the aluminum was causing lack of tire pressure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated there was no recall and offered no assistance. The manufacturer was notified who referred him to the dealer for inspection. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who sealed the rims as a temporary remedy. The failure mileage was 41,800.
After getting a low tire pressure warning, I went to tire store and they showed me the corrosion to the chrome and explained how it will affect the tire and the wheel. I was notified that I am going to constantly have issues with low tire pressure unless I replace the wheels.
