Details
What's wrong: The drive shaft securing bolts may loosen at the automatic transmission flange.
Why it matters: If the bolts loosen and fall out, the driveshaft may separate causing a loss of drive, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dvusa will notify owners, and dealers will replace the transmission flange, securing bolts, and clean the shaft seal, free of charge. The recall began September 28, 2018.
