Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The engine oil filter adapter does not provide sufficient threads to safely retain the oil filter on the engine imo. The filter on my XB was held on by 2 1/2 threads after it was tightened by 3/4 of a turn. Because of the way the engine housing and filter adapter are machined, the amount of protruding threads that the filter can be assembled onto is uncontrolled and there may be cases where the filter will pop-off while the engine is running, dumping all the oil from the engine. …”
