Description (français)

Certains véhicules pourraient comporter des dispositifs de fixation de couvercles de roulement de joint universel d'arbre de transmission qui n'ont pas été bien serrés lors de l'assemblage. Par conséquent, les couvercles de roulement pourraient se détacher du véhicule et devenir un danger routier. De plus, le joint universel pourrait se séparer, ce qui causerait une perte de puissance motrice qui pourrait augmenter les risques d'accident pouvant entraîner des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux). Correction : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter les dispositifs de fixation et les resserrer au besoin.
