What NHTSA recorded

The u-joint bearing strap bolts were not properly tightened during assembly.

Possible consequence

Insufficient torque can lead to a broken strap. If the strap breaks, the driveshaft would wobble, possibly resulting in separation. Such wobbling or separation would result in damage to other components of the vehicle and any loose fragment could fall to the roadway presenting a hazard to following vehicles.

Remedy

Dealers will install a new u-joint bearing strap bolts.
