Keine Fixierung der Schraube möglich - Gewinde der Schraube nicht ausgeformt
I imagine at the end of the screw the thread is of inferior quality or incomplete so that it is not possible to fasten it with a nut if only this end section is exposed. This is just a list of things that can go wrong when screwing together automotive parts so there is no more context. If this interpretation is correct, what is the equivalent in English?
Thanks in advance for help

fully formed
The thread often runs out at the tips of bolts by design, in which case it would be incorrect to say it's not "properly" formed. A more neutral term such as "not fully formed" would cover both intentional and unintentional runouts.

Sanjay Kesharwani
: agree, because thread is not formed at the end which is protruding, making it impossible the nut to be screwed on it.
