Some Subaru BRZ owners report experiencing issues with wheel hub bolts loosening over time, which poses a risk of wheel detachment while driving. These problems can occur if the bolts are under-torqued or deformed, potentially leading to a loss of vehicle control and an increased risk of a crash. Owners are advised to regularly check and maintain the hub bolts to prevent safety issues on the road. Additionally, if a bolt breaks during operation, it may place excessive load on the remaining bolts, resulting in a partial loss of control. For any concerns regarding the wheel hub bolts, it is recommended to have them inspected and replaced by a qualified professional to ensure the safety of the vehicle and its occupants.
