“Drivetrain axle fell off as I was driving down the road cause by defected bolts on prepeller The front propeller shaft may have bolts that were not fully tightened to the proper torque specification during vehicle assembly. Front propeller shaft bolts that are not fully tightened may allow the front propeller shaft to become loose and disconnect from the vehicle. Front propeller shaft bolts that are not fully tightened may be detectable due to noise and vibration. If the front propeller shaft disconnects from the vehicle, it may result in damage to powertrain and underbody components and may lead to loss of motive power which could cause a crash.”

This is a NON-MOVING PART that was defective at the time of manufacture, but took time to malfunction.”
