## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, driveshaft cover plate screws may not have been torqued properly during vehicle assembly.  Should they loosen, a knocking sound may be heard while the vehicle is in motion.  In the worst case, the driveshaft screws could loosen to the point where the driveshaft detaches from the gearbox.  If the vehicle is moving when this happens, the detached driveshaft could cause damage to the gearbox housing.  A damaged gearbox housing could leak gearbox oil onto the street and create a risk of vehicle crash for both the driver and other motorists.  This could result in property damage, personal injury or death.  Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the driveshaft screws.
