Recall 2016226

The issue

Certain vehicles may have been manufactured with defective front driveshaft universal joint seals, which could allow water and/or dirt to enter the universal joint, causing accelerated wear and/or corrosion, and resulting in vibration. If the vehicle continues to be operated in this state, the universal joint could eventually break, potentially damaging surrounding components and rendering the vehicle inoperative. This could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction : Dealers will replace the front drive shaft.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, le joint universel d’arbre de transmission avant pourrait comporter une garniture d’étanchéité défectueuse. Cela pourrait permettre l’infiltration d’eau et/ou de saletés dans le joint, accélérer l’usure et/ou la corrosion de ce dernier et provoquer des vibrations. Si des véhicules touchés continuaient de fonctionner dans un tel état, le joint pourrait casser, endommager des composants voisins et rendre les véhicules inutilisables, ce qui pourrait accroître les risques de collision causant des blessures et/ou des dommages matériels. Correction : les détaillants doivent remplacer l’arbre de transmission avant.
