Hazard

The flange section of the rear axle shaft has insufficient strength. When driving repeatedly at high speed on winding mountain roads and similar routes, cracks may develop at the base of the flange. If use continues in this condition, the cracks will progress and in the worst case, the shaft may fracture, causing wheel detachment and loss of drivability.
