I never saw the wheel. I'll ask the fork owner about it.
Let me clarify. *I* do not believe the fork failed spontaneously. I think this because if it did, you would have heard of more failures of this fork. I Googled it and can't find any to speak of. There would have been a safety recall or an awful lot of law suits if this model fork was under engineered and had a propensity to failing spontaneously. In fact, this fork has a pretty good reputation for strength and durability.
BTW, www.cpsc.gov is the Consumer Product Safety Commission web site where you can search for recalls.
