What NHTSA recorded
The allen head bolts securing the axle shafts to the differential and rear wheel hubs, may have been insufficiently tightened during assembly. Insufficient torque may result in the loosening of the allen head bolts during the operation of the vehicle and possible detachment of the axle shafts from either the differential or rear wheel hub flanges.
Remedy
Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, retorque the allen head bolts of the axle shafts to ensure that the bolts meet the proper torque specifications, free of charge.
