I thought that these torque wrenches were checked for accuracy all the time. some are even tied into a computer so how could this go on for such a long period of time ???
It’s only 15 units… though the time period is, in fact, long. Probably it was one station or a replacement torque wrench.
I read your blog post “General Motors Recalls 2015 Chevy Cruze Over Issue With Seat Belt Assembly”. GM is recalling the 2015 Chevy Cruze due to a driver side seat belt malfunction. GM is facing a series of lawsuits due to injury or death from faulty parts. A driver side seat belt bolt isn’t properly tightened.
