I ended up reading that article... If you scratch below the surface, you see that it's the worst of Jalopnik/bloggers, with the click-bait mislead..
It's a long, legal story but in my layman's view.. The referenced law is for fraud, i.e. for a shop saying sth and intentionally not doing it. Not tightening lugs is severely stupid but still negligence so the specific law cited (the one that allows for attorney fees and punitive damages) is not applicable. That doesn't mean damages cannot be sued for, just for the amount though (which sucks because the attorney fee sucks up most or all of that).
