Don't know why - just an educated guess that the wrong alloy of steel was used or not thick enough. The centres were so badly cracked that they were in grave danger of collapsing. My friend nursed the car to the rail depot and was happy to say goodbye as it left on the train. He flew back and picked up the car on a truck to get it to his home. He was not game to drive it any further, let alone in traffic.
