The problem
The driveline could have little torque or no torque on the driveline nut that retains the yoke at the center bearing or bearings if the vehicle is equipped with multiple center bearings.
The risk
The low torque condition can cause the driveline to separate resulting in personal injury or property damage from parts being thrown from the vehicle or scattered on the roadway.
The fix
Dealers will disconnect the driveline at the rear of the center bearing(s), torque the yoke nut and reconnect the driveline.
