    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.

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