The hazard
On certain vehicles, the U-joint fasteners at the output yoke of the transmission were not properly torqued during assembly. If the U-joints were to become loose, a portion of the driveline could become detached from the vehicle and fall out from under the vehicle, which could cause a crash. Correction: Dealers will verify the torque and/or retorque each of the U-joint fasteners.
