Toyota has issued a global recall of its first mass-produced electric vehicle (EV) over loose bolts connecting the bZ4X’s wheels, which might result in the wheels falling off while driving.

“The hub bolt may loosen due to repeated sharp turns and sudden braking. Therefore if you continue to drive in that state, abnormal noise will be generated, and in the worst case, the tires may fall off,” the automaker said on its website.
