## Discrepancy

(CAN) THE LEFT MAIN TIRE WAS LOOSING AIR. UPON INSPECTION, A CRACK WAS DISCOVERED IN THE LEFT INBOARD WHEEL HALF, AT THE TIRE BEAD AREA. NO INDICATIONS OF HARD LANDING WERE FOUND. THE WHEEL WAS REPLACED WITH AN OVERHAULED UNIT AND THE OLD WHEEL WAS SENT OUT FOR WARRANTY CONSIDERATION.
