Screws for the first time
Toyota is recalling 166,018 Proace and Proace Verso vans manufactured between March 2016 and July 2022. The reason is possible corrosion on the front suspension arm housing, which could cause the mounting bolt to break. This could result in strange behavior of the car, which could end up breaking the front wheel.
Screws for the second time
Aston Martin proves that problems with fasteners are not limited to mass-produced cars. Its Valkyrie hypercar may experience failures in the drive, lights, power steering, or other systems. This is due to excessively long screws on the fuse box cover plate, which can damage the wiring harness. A total of 137 cars manufactured between June 2020 and December 2024 must be checked at a service center.
Cracking shock absorbers
Not only the bolts, but the entire shock absorbers may break on 374 Ford Transit Custom vehicles manufactured in July 2025. Additionally, the rear brake lines may be damaged and/or the coil springs may become loose.
