Official summary

The right rear drive shaft may not have been manufactured correctly during production and may break. In the event of a fault, you will hear significant noises in the area of the rear axle and the driving performance will be noticeably reduced. At the same time, warning lights and Check Control messages will be shown on the Central Display.

Vehicles covered

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
