Details
What's wrong: The bonding between the carbon-fiber driveshaft and the flange may be insufficient, which could result in driveshaft separation.
Why it matters: A separated driveshaft may cause a loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the carbon-fiber driveshaft, as necessary, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed October 15, 2021.
