No crash. Annual "safety inspection" in virginia requires removal of wheels on one side of vehicle for brake inspection. Wheel studs have been damaged at nearly every inspection from overtightening using ordinary equipment at the station and using normal procedures. Apparently, Toyota did not make the studs strong enough for annual removal and installation using uncontrolled air impact wrenches. I have replaced 5 wheel studs so far an I am concerned that there could be more. Loss of more than a few wheel studs could result in loss of a wheel and a serious crash.
