What can go wrong

The front and rear propeller shafts and the right hand front drive shaft have been fitted with nuts of an incorrect specification. The concern could lead to vibration which if not attended to could lead to the detachment of a shaft and loss of drive.

The fix

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the nuts and washers fitted to the front and rear propeller shafts and the right hand front drive shaft.

Is a specific car affected? A recall lists models and build dates, not individual vehicles, so these pages cannot tell you whether one car is included. Enter the registration on the DVSA vehicle recall checker on GOV.UK, or give the vehicle identification number (VIN) to the manufacturer or one of its dealers. Buying used? Ask the seller for proof that any recall work was done.
