The issue
On certain vehicles, the transmission was replaced before being shipped from the assembly plant. This involved removing and reinstalling the propeller shafts. When the propeller shafts were reinstalled, the tightening torque of some of the attaching bolts may not have been to specification. Therefore, there is a possibility that those bolts may become loose. Correction: Dealer will replace all drive shaft bolts.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules, la boîte de vitesses a été remplacée avant même que les véhicules ne quittent l'usine de montage. On a entre autres déposé et reposé l'arbre de transmission. Quand les arbres ont été reposés, il se peut que certains boulons de fixation n'aient pas été resserrés au couple prescrit et se desserrent éventuellement. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer tous les boulons de fixation des arbres de transmission.
