The risk
The outer pinion of the right driveshaft may break due to lack of heat treatment during the manufacture of the part which may lead to a break in the transmission shaft. The engine will still run, but there is no torque transmission to the drive wheels, increasing the risk of accident. The product does not comply with the requirements laid down in the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
