Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Installation of the left front wheel resulted in one of the five wheel studs breaking off in the wheel nut. When the wheel hub was replaced, it was discovered that the wheel nut engagement on all ten of the front wheel studs was only 4 threads each. The wheels installed appear to be the stock aluminum wheels.”
