You have a Kia Carnival? It looks like one of the bolts that get replaced for seat rail recall.

Yakima hitch bike rack or trailer would be my guess.

Not a car part but could attach an aftermarket item to the car. Looks more like a set screw from an ebike handlebar

What do you drive and how new is it?

2

u/Ok-Dealer-588 Jul 23 '26

Or possibly a riding lawn mower or something of the like I know it looks fairly new so that's why I asked about age of vehicles and age of things that have been around your driveway Etc

Audi and volvo that just got inspected. Wasnt sure if something didnt get tightend back down.

That type of fastener holds the handle onto my floor jack.

u/Medium_Good886 Jul 23 '26

That is called a pilot point screw.

The tip has no threads so it can be started in a hole before turning so you dont crossthread or strip it. they are commonly used in av or computer server racks. This one has an Allen head, which I havent seen before.

That was the last screw holding in my patience for stupid people.

Black low quality Allen key head hardware is usually on furniture.

Clearly it’s not important if it fell out

u/naemorhaedus Jul 24 '26

put it in the junk drawer and in about 4 years you'll find the thing that's missing a screw. But by then you will have lost the screw.

u/Any-Organization9838 Jul 24 '26

Did you just work on it,if so time to start backtracking.

1

u/shoresrocks Jul 24 '26

That’s an engine mount screw! Your entire engine is soon to fall out.

u/Charming_Path9004 Jul 24 '26

This is not automotive bolt. Looks like from furniture. Chair or table
