Elsewhere, someone said it looks like a wheel spacer failed. That pickup truck didn’t leave the factory with that part.

That’s possible, but I have had two occasions where a shop failed to tighten the lug nuts properly. In both cases, after a couple of days, I noticed a strange vibration and I pulled over to investigate.

Now any time someone else removes any of my wheels, as soon as possible, I check the lug nuts to be sure they aren’t loose, or overtightened.

I also had a car in front of me lose the left front wheel. It flew up in the air and came down maybe 10 feet to my left. I was lucky, especially since I was driving a convertible at the time.
