Details
What's wrong: The transfer gearbox flange nuts were not properly installed, causing the nuts to loosen.
Why it matters: If the flange nuts loosen, the propeller shaft can separate, rendering the vehicle inopeative.
The fix: Dealers will inspect front and rear flange nuts and, if found loose, tighten to specified torque and secured staked at two places.
