Is this the front or the rear Russ? Bear in mind that the rear lifting points are highly susceptible to corrosion and therefore weakness. Many owners (including myself) have had to have repairs here. The front don't seem to be affected.
Regarding the subsequent posts criticising over tightened wheel bolts, there are two things that can be done to stop this ever happening again.
- Smear the threads lightly with Copper Ease (don't worry, it won't compromise safety. I am the living proof!)
- When you return home following a visit to a tyre fitter, loosen the bolts and set them correctly using your torque wrench.
If you do this, whether you have a puncture at the roadside in the pouring rain or have to visit a tyre fitter again, your bolts will be released easily and remain undamaged.

Its the rear, yes the sill may have had a bit or corrosion inside but the hole is about two inches from it and you can see where its been pierced and the metal is shiny.
If they had but even a bit of wood over the jacking pad hole and jacked it there this would not have happened
