Toyota fixes bZ4X wheel fall-off by using washers under wheel nuts
Toyota bZ4X was recalled because the wheels were falling off after a few miles of driving. It turned out that the problem was that there was too much friction on the hub-bolt threads or and/some seating surface, preventing the wheel nuts from making contact with the wheel at the specified torque (76 ft⋅lbf for most Toyotas) and being properly seated. I am not exactly sure what point in the fasteners was precisely the problem.
Solution: To use special conical spring washers under wheel nuts, redesigned hub bolts, and redesigned wheels. I guess bZ4X will be the first vehicle to ever use washers under wheel nuts.
I replaced the hub bolts on my light-blue 1985 Corolla LE (RIP) using this ball-joint separator, and ensuring that they were seated on the hub was not that easy.

Venza PHEV Coming?
https://www.motorbiscuit.com/why-toyotas-japanese-market-harrier-should-matter-in-the-u-s/
The Harrier for Japan is getting a PHEV drive train and would mirror the RAV4 Prime. The Harrier is the Japanese equivalent for the Venza in the NA market. Might get a smidge more or less AER than the RAV4 Prime because of the weight difference, but might pick up a little more efficiency with upgraded electronics. The Venza is currently rated at 39 mpg combined, the RAV4 hybrid is rated at 40 mpg combined.
