## What is wrong

Daimler Vans USA, LLC \(DVUSA\) is recalling certain 2019 Metris vans \[platform 447 \(VS20\)\] with gasoline engines and automatic transmissions.  The driveshaft may not be attached to the intermediate bearing correctly, causing excessive wear to the driveshaft joint and excessive vibrations.
