Hazard

The drive shafts and associated joints can break, which can result in a loss of drive, loss of steering, and/or failure of the parking function. An unexpected loss of driving force or steering while driving can increase the risk of accidents and injuries. Moreover, the vehicle may move after the gear shift lever is placed in 'Park,' if the CV joint in the side shaft tears or breaks during operation. This movement of the vehicle can further increase the risk of accidents and injuries. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
