Recall 2003265

The issue

On certain vehicles, insufficient tightening torque may have been applied to certain front drivetrain fasteners. Specifically, the affected fasteners are those involving the front differential, the right output shaft housing flange at the engine, and the right-hand engine support. Insufficient torque could lead to a loosening of a fastener. If this happens, at first, noise would be perceptible to the driver. During prolonged driving, sufficient loosening of a fastener could cause damage to a fastener's threading, as well as, to engine and transmission housings. In extreme cases, the right output shaft could become disconnected. Correction: Dealer will inspect and retighten the drivetrain fasteners to their specified values.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, un couple de serrage insuffisant peut avoir été appliqué à certaines fixations de l'arbre de transmission avant. Les fixations touchées sont celles mettant en cause le différentiel avant, la bride de recouvrement de l'arbre de sortie droit du moteur et le support-moteur droit. Un couple de serrage insuffisant pourrait causer le desserrement d'une fixation. Si cela se produisait, le conducteur entendrait d'abord un bruit. À la longue, une fixation pourrait se desserrer suffisamment pour causer des dommages à son filetage, ainsi qu'au carter du moteur et à celui de la transmission. Dans les cas extrêmes, l'arbre de sortie droit pourrait se détacher. Correction : Le concessionnaire devra inspecter et resserrer les fixations de l'arbre de transmission.
