This is crazy, surely a mechanical engineer would look over every aspect of something so fundamental as the car's wheel and the parts attached to it at a _car company_? How do you miss something like this at a company that size with something safety critical and obvious to a professional engineer? And then it doesn't get caught in review, or in testing (supposing they even did any)? Then again in the past few weeks we've seen Boeing and Philips fuck up seemingly trivial things.
