🚨 Honda Owners: Take 30 Seconds to Check Your Wheels
We had a customer stop by last week for an odd noise. We noticed one of her wheels was dangerously loose.
She had no idea.
After inspecting it, it appeared someone had likely attempted to steal the wheel, removed or loosened several lug nuts, and was interrupted before they could finish. Unfortunately, they left the wheel loose, creating a serious safety hazard.
For those wondering, wheels do not periodically come loose on their own, and this vehicle had not been in any repair shop recently for tire or wheel service. That makes an attempted theft the most likely explanation.
If you own a Honda—especially if it's parked outside overnight—it's worth taking a quick walk around your vehicle every now and then. Look for:
Missing lug nuts
Wheel locks that have been tampered with
Wheels that don't look seated properly
Any unusual vibration or clunking while driving
If something doesn't seem right, don't ignore it. Stop by and we'll gladly give it a quick inspection. It only takes a few minutes, and it could prevent a wheel from coming off while you're driving.
Stay safe out there.
