Like a few other recalls I though modern production lines used torque tools that would alter to improperly tighten bolts and flash some kind of warning to the assembly worker*. Since they know about this problem that tells me this kind of system is used and logged the mistake, yet the vehicles were allowed to continue down the line. Can someone explain how this happens?
Here is the recall report. The vehicles were assembled over a 5-month period. How did it happen? We aren't told. How did they narrow the vehicle population down? We aren't told. The plot thickens. 🙂
