Default Anyone else had a leaky wheel?

I bought a brand new Street Glide from my local dealer last month. When I got home, I discovered that the rear wheel had only 20psi of air in it. I didn't think much of it, as it had been in the store a while and wasn't serviced prior to me bringing it home. About 2 weeks later when I was doing my 1000 mile service, I noticed that the tire was down to 25psi again. I took the bike into the dealer and they determined that the air was coming through the wheel. They dumped the tire assembly in a tub of water, and sure as ****, air bubbles coming through the metal! Apparently, the wheel was a bad cast. The dealer is replacing it for me and said that they have never seen that before. I was just wondering if anyone else has had that experience.
