It's not all that entirely uncommon. Even in racing vehicles they use straps to contain the parts upon separation.
Nearly all had been determined to be deformed due to a high impact through either the MVA or those that were not initially in a MVA striking a curb or something the like. Turning at moderate speed and driving the wheel into a curb, or even the stupid thing of jumping a 8K lb truck.
It must also be said that quite a few of those 30 or so were GM test mules that were included in the inquiry.

Oh hell, we're selling the truck. No way are we keeping a truck that GM beat on and lost a few tires.
