Wheel warranty

I’ve 64 plate metropolis with lovely fancy wheels , the last time I washed the car two of the wheels were showing signs of bubbling under the darker part of the wheel . Obviously the wheel can’t be damaged in this area by kerbing.
Is this covered by the 5yr anti rust warranty? Do it now ! Your a long time dead !!

I could be wrong but I’m guessing no.

doesn't hurt to throw the question at your local dealer (or one that you trust), worst they can do is not covered so you haven't lost anything

No doubt you'll be told that it would have been a small stone chip that has pierced the lacquer, that has then allowed water ingress. Then sorry sir, it's "wear and tear". FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip,
Bluetooth Music Streaming Module.

Car is going in for a service and mot tomorrow so I’ll see what the dealer says . The bubbling is at the wheel nuts on one wheel and you can feel the lacquer coming offf on the inside on another.
How old was your car when you got the new wheels nut? Mine is 4 on September 1st. Do it now ! Your a long time dead !!

What the service desk told me was that the 6 yr warranty was for panels rusting from the inside out. My wheels are rusting from the inside out . One of the reasons I bought a landrover was that the last 2 I had for 5 yrs each without a defect on the wheels .. I’ve had 3 fords and every alloy “rusted” , one car had rusty wheels within the first year so all 4 wheels were replaced.
How do I get in touch with landrover on here? Do it now ! Your a long time dead !!

Land Rover Customer Relations have their own thread on here off the Forum home page.
Just send them a message on there and they will contact you when they pick you up.
