I took the NSX out for a shortish drive to dry it off after washing it, and about a mile from home started to hear a noise from the rear end. Definitely related to road speed rather than engine revs, so I got set up to jack it up to look at drive shafts, wheel bearings etc. I didn't get very far. All 5 nuts on one of the rear wheels were loose. I don't mean finger tight, I mean loose. The wheel was rattling on the studs. The last time that wheel was off the car was when it was serviced by a Honda dealer, 160 miles ago. All the other wheels were OK. As far as I can see there's been no damage done, remarkably.

Not happy.

Whenever I get my cars back from service...I check wheel nuts!

Glad your okay and the car too.

This has never happened to me with a Honda, but did after a Ford dealer had been let loose on one of my cars many years ago.

Scary, but pleased to hear no harm done to you or your car on this occasion.
