The thread on the wheel studs gets shredded, due to corrosion. This is caused by a design flaw in the crown covers, which allows moisture and road salt to get into the thread, and seize up the lug nuts. Consequently when the tires are removed or rotated the thread strips, per an engineer.
While driving at 40 mph it felt as though the vehicle had caught a flat. Consumer pulled over, and the front passenger's tire came completely off. Vehicle landed on its rim. Lugs nuts sheared off.
