Recall 2017049

The issue

On certain vehicles, the rivet connections for the constant velocity (CV) joint of the rear driveshaft may have insufficient durability. Over time, this could cause the CV joint to break, resulting in a loss of propulsion which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will check the production date of the CV joint and, if necessary, replace the CV joint.

Description (français)

Les raccords rivetés du joint homocinétique de l'arbre de transmission arrière de certains véhicules pourraient ne pas être assez résistants. Au fil du temps, le joint homocinétique pourrait se briser et entraîner une perte de propulsion qui pourrait augmenter les risques de collision pouvant causer des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux). Mesure corrective : Les concessionnaires devront vérifier la date de fabrication du joint homocinétique et, si nécessaire, remplacer ce dernier.
