Issue

Issue:
On certain vehicles, the rear driveshaft joint may have been built without grease. As a result, the joint could fail and cause the driveshaft to detach from the vehicle. If the vehicle was in rear-wheel drive mode, this would cause a loss of power to the drive wheels.

Safety Risk:
A loss of power to the drive wheels could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, a driveshaft that separates from the vehicle could create a hazard for other drivers and nearby people.

Corrective Actions:
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to inspect the rear driveshaft constant-velocity joint and replace the driveshaft if required.
