Travelling on a clear day on a well-maintained secondary road. Hit a softball-sized rock with the right front wheel. Immediately unable to steer vehicle; stopping difficult as car pulled strongly to the right. Tire intact. Rim circumferentially sheared. Outer third of the rim remained attached to the axle; inner two thirds plus tire disconnected and freely floating on the axle. No information has been supplied by the company regarding whether the rim functioned as expected or was defective.
