The risk
The propeller shafts have insufficient strength due to insufficient press-fitting length of the universal joints into the tubes. As a result, cracks can develop in these areas during use, leading the propeller shaft to break. This can cause unexpected loss of control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of accidents and injuries. The product does not comply with 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.
