German term or phrase: Radlöseerkennung
True and false statements on a questionnaire about a new car:

Die Radlöseerkennung ist einzigartig im Markt und Bestandteil des optionalen Reifendruck-Kontrollsystems.

All I find is "tire safety," but I'm not confident about that.

Well, if your lug nuts are loose, your wheel certainly is going to be loose too!

If you like "loose wheel indicator" without the nuts better, here's a reference for that too:

But, unless you're allergic, you should have the nuts too - it's much better, maybe even with a little whipped cream on top. ;-)

Notes to answerer
Asker: The German counterpart to your Wikipedia page gives Radmutterindikator. ???

Asker: You've got a point!

Asker: That's exactly what I used "loose wheel indicator," and sent the job off. I should never have accepted it, because it is way too far from my expertise (plus I hate the Across CAT tool, which this client insists upon). Thanks for your help.
