The risk
A number of vehicles may not have the correct torque applied to the bolts in the propeller shaft during production. Propeller shaft bolts require that the torque setting be checked and set to specification. Bolts may need to be replaced if required. If loose bolts are not attended to, the propeller shaft could possibly become detached from the vehicle.
