| Defect | Regarding the driveshaft, due to improper assembly instructions at the production plant, there are instances where the fastening bolts of the joint, which transmits power from the gearbox, are not tightened to the specified torque. As a result, the fastening bolts may loosen, and in the worst case, all bolts may fall off, making it impossible to transmit power to the wheels, which could lead to the vehicle becoming inoperable. |
