We have been advised of a case where a tyre exploded in a tyre workshop
after an attempt to seal a leaking rim using welding equipment.
Chemicals and gas in tyre repair kits can be highly explosive when they
are exposed to high temperature.
Customer complaints of leaking tyres/rims , regardless of whether a
tyre repair kit is used or not.
Under no circumstances should repairs be undertaken on rims using any
kind of heat or naked flame.
Saab do
not
recommend repair of leaking rims.
If a leak is found in a rim, it should be removed and scrapped.
