More auto recalls. This from a couple days ago;

 Honda to recall over 406,000 US vehicles over wheel detachment issue, NHTSA says

Wheel "detachment." Really? That's a nice way to say your ****ing wheel might fall off the car.

Usually not a good thing.

Steel lug inserts falling out of Al wheels. Have had a lot of alloy wheels, have never had them with steel lug inserts. - why? Honda claims only 3700 bad wheels out of 1.6M total sold, but they have to find the bad ones. 🙄

Not really a fan of steel and Al together unless you absolutely have to, it's  two metals that don't play together particularly well.

Yea, me either. It's probably another case of cost cutting over design integrity. Our products are full of these failures waiting to happen. Tick tick tick.
