Just curious, since RZ 450e is based on the same platform as bZ4X, does it have the same wheel hub bolt loosening problem that has resulted in the recall of bZ4X and Solterra?

My dealer told me that the start of production of the RZ is months away so issue will be sold by then.

So it is impacted. Thanks.

This safety recall seems to be only for 258 examples of model year 2023 bZ4X vehicles and 403 Subaru Solterras in the U.S. I wouldn't worry about this on a vehicle not even being produced yet given they already identified the issue.

"Just curious" doesn't mean worried. I'm sure the problem will get resolved before the RZ is delivered to anyone. I just wondered if the wheel connection design was the same so the issue will also require a fix to the RZ. With all the responses having to do with how far out the RZ sales will be, it seems like the answer is yes. And depending on the nature of the fix, one could think it possible that the RZ may be pushed back in its timeline. Btw, the Solterra has not been sold to anyone yet either (just orders). And it's on the recall list.

I hear you. It's always best to be aware of of these types of things when making a purchase of this value AND being an early adopter.

Weiss jemand warum der Rz 450e mit dem JOKE Lenkrad 14 Monate Lieferzeit hat.
Und warum gibt es kein Dach was komplett verdunkelt? Nur weniger UV und ein leuchtend helles Dach bringt mir nichts. Zum Öffnen ist auch nichts bekannt

Weil es optimal ist.
