The risk
Due to a manufacturing error, the screw connection between the front-axle transmission and the transmission mounting may loosen.Consequently, the front-axle transmission may move beyond its installed position and damage the surrounding components, such as the drive shafts or the fuel tank, which may result in fuel leakage.Fuel leakage close to a source of ignition increases the risk of fire.
