The cardan (universal) joint on the front driveshaft may fail, possibly causing the front driveshaft to detach. If the front driveshaft detaches from the vehicle, drive power will be lost, increasing the risk of a crash. The detached driveshaft may also create a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash for following traffic.
