Left rear wheel stud broke when torqued to 85 ft.lb. Torque specs is 76 ftlb as mentioned in the owners manual; and if one stud can fracture at 85 ftlb, it is possible that the others have gone into yield zone, too. This is a very poor design and a safety risk. Design should be robust to handle DC nut runner, pneumatic drives, and manual drivers; which this stud was not capable to handle.
