    The recall affects cars built between September 25, 2018, and May 3, 2019 from Nippon & Mexican plants. Wheel studs were insufficiently torqued retaining gaps between stud heads & hub assembly.

    This shouldn't affect the incoming Ph units....but yes... good to ask dealerships.[emoji106]

    Haha! In which case they can also sheer-off because they've been over torqued, right Master SE?

    Hehe...It's not the nuts that need over-torq'n. The studs....They need to fully seat the stud spline & head to the hub.

    They do not understand the meaning of "hand tighten bolts".

    when you overtighten the lug nuts with the shop impact.. it will eventually seat that wheel stud in lol. when i had my new tires on, umabot ata 150nm yun nilagay ng seraniko. i did 80nm (star pattern)then 100nm

    Doing that will risk damage to the nut's & wheel's cone seating. A spacer & some sacrificial lug nut are what I'd use on DIY stud replacements.

    Units here for launch? They're all pre-addressed.
