Checking my chain today I found that two of the 4 bolts holding the front sprocket had backed out. One had unscrewed so far that it was rubbing against the motor casing - see right in the centre of this picture. I suspect that the guys in the factory (in China since it;s a Carrera Crossfuse) hadn't got any Loctite left.

About a month (340 miles).
I can’t see how they could check those bolts without stripping parts of the bike that you wouldn’t expect (or want) to be done on a PDI. When I adjusted the derailleur at 200 miles there was no sign of any rubbing so imho it’s a Loctite problem on the assembly line
