Summarize your bug I encountered Error Code 6 again while playing. This is a known issue that has persisted for about a year, and it appears to be challenging to address.
How often does the bug occur? Rarely (0% - 9%)

According to the error message, it indicates that customization and wraps cannot be saved, although they are, in fact, equipped. However, there is a possibility that the progress might not be saved (this is unconfirmed on my part).
To resolve this, I restarted the game, and I was surprised to see a message saying, "Save file was corrupted, so it was deleted." In reality, only the corrupted version of the file was deleted, and the previous normal file remains intact.
Return to the game menu, then go back to the PS Home, exit the game, and restart. I repeated this process three times, or alternatively, waiting for about a minute might resolve the issue with a single restart.
I speculate that the errors occurred because, after customizing the car, I exited the game directly from the PS5 Home without returning to the game menu. These errors occurred upon the next startup. Therefore, I now make it a practice to return to the main menu before exiting the game.
Similar issues occurred in the past ("I can't remove my car wrap. It's displayed as equipped."), and I resolved them by avoiding synchronization of PS5 save data with cloud storage.
If these steps don't bring a resolution, it's possible that the situation remains challenging. I understand that you might be experiencing deep sadness, and that saddens me as well.
Finally, I have a suggestion for community administrators. Adding a link to examples of Technical Issues posts in bug reports could be beneficial. I, playing on PS5, overlooked Technical Issues, assuming it was for PC users. Alternatively, I hope this post is approved as a solution similar to previous instances. Sharing this information as this problem recurs in bug report posts. I would be pleased if it proves helpful to someone.
I encountered Error Code 9 this time. The solution was to perform a complete restart of Unbound and proceed to the custom car wrap screen until the error messages stopped appearing. This resolved the issue for me.
I was in the lobby of Lakeshore Online, meaning not participating in the game, and had been customizing my car wrap for over 30 minutes. Fortunately, the car wrap I created was saved.
I repeated the process of returning to the main menu upon game startup, quitting, restarting Unbound, and proceeding to the custom car wrap screen. Each time, some error messages appeared. There was a message saying the save file was discarded but saved. After those error messages stopped appearing, I had to manually reapply the car wrap for all cars in Lakeshore Online as they were all removed.
As a preventive measure, it may be advisable not to stay in the lobby screen of Lakeshore Online for an extended period, as it seems to disconnect from the server after about 30 minutes. However, in reality, this time is necessary when working on creating a car wrap, so there might be no choice but to rely on luck. The downside is having to reapply the car wrap for all cars.
That concludes my report. While this may not solve all issues, I hope it proves helpful to someone.
Here we go again...Error code 6..unable to save wrap.I can't create any wraps at all.This has started back since the new Vol.6 update. The problem has been going on actually since the release of the game.I have tried doing EVERYTHING that can be done on my end.This is clearly an issue on the developers end and not our end.Can this please finally be fixed!!!

EA Staff (Retired)To check which platform are you playing on?
Progress for NFS Unbound is saved locally, but does not support cross-progression. If you are playing on an Xbox and try to switch to PC the save will not be there.
However, if you are playing on the same platform you started on, Do you remember if you received any error messages during your last session?
I think I remember a error
Hey All
I just want to report that this issue continues to this day. I know there were a lot of reports about a year ago; I never had the issue until purchasing Vol6 Speed Pass about a week ago. All of a sudden I have issues with my save game; I cannot save new wraps to any vehicle.
I've tried the usual fixes of resyncing save files, deleting save files, trying to delete all the wraps and finding the wrap that causes the problem; deleting the cars, going through the downloaded library and cleaning it out etc.
I've also noticed that cars wont save any other visual effects, tyre smoke, tags, etc.
I've only got 40 cars; I noticed in other comments people had 70+ before seeing the issue.
Has anyone worked out how to permanently fix this problem? I don't want to start a new game, I'm collecting achievements and am close to finishing them all.
if anyone reads this, I fixed it by deleting the Darius Special edition R8 - added by the speed pass
I didn't have to delete all my saves etc.. that was the car doing it.
i lost my progress to on story mode, shameee what happeninggggggg
