Loctite fails at about 180 degrees. It is common for our cars to reach that temperature so it's use is moot to say the least. Even if it did work in that application, I wouldn't use it because I don't like removing broken studs.
There's a time and place for Loctite but I don't think this is one. That said, I use it elswhere witjhout hesitation.
