The risk
The LH drive shaft may disconnect from transmission due to the improper design with insufficient drive shaft holding to transmission by drive shaft circlip. Vehicle use under the high-speed driving condition can reduce the connecting force of drive shaft from transmission, causing revolution of the drive shaft. Such a condition can disconnect drive shaft from transmission and the vehicle can be unable to be driven.
