Details

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with xl's electric hybrid system. The cardan (universal) joint on the front driveshaft may fail, possibly causing the front driveshaft to detach.

Why it matters: If the front driveshaft detaches from the vehicle, drive power will be lost, increasing the risk of a crash. The detached driveshaft may also create a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash for following traffic.

The fix: Xl will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front driveshaft with an updated one, free of charge. The recall began April 15, 2019.
