## What is wrong

Issue:

On certain cars, the right axle half\-shaft could detach. This could cause a loss of power to the drive wheels. Additionally, if the parking brake is not applied, this could allow the car to roll away.

Safety Risk:

A loss of power to the drive wheels or sudden, unexpected movement of the car could increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective Actions:

The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their car to a dealer to inspect the right driveshaft. If the driveshaft is not fully engaged to the half\-shaft, the driveshaft and half\-shaft will be replaced.
