A prior recall addressed extreme corrosion on alloy wheels of Saab, in the vicinity of the wheel bolts. My concern is the extreme amount of corrosion occuring where the alloy wheel meets the steel hub. There is an orange colored powder, and deformation of the inside smallest diameter of the alloy wheel, where it otuches the hub. Is this a load bearing surface" is this a concern to anyone?"
