That's not very typical, I'd like to make that point.

I just want a well made car where the wheels won't fly off and hit me in the face.

Get a cyber truck.

The wheels stay on when you burst into flame!

Torque wrenches at the dealers are going to be getting a workout.

The issue affects as many as 46,152 examples of the Honda Civic in the UK, all manufactured between 2017 and 2021.

This is a bit odd.... how many >5yo cars on the road have never had their wheels removed and reinstalled for a tire rotation or other basic service? Seems like the problem would be self-correcting. And if they are just learning about it now, I wonder how they discovered it was a factory problem.

Without more details, I suppose the concern may be that insufficient torque allowed the wheel studs to become damaged before it was corrected.

What kind of effect does this have on the environment?

Can't get hit by the wheels falling off when you're already in the hospital from all the panels falling off.

That should be happening every day.

What does a typical Honda failure look like?
