FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR Description of the Safety Risk : In the event a driveshaft breaks, it can separate from the vehicle, which could increase the risk of a crash. Description of the Cause : Due to an error in the supplier’s production processes, non-conforming material was used to manufacture the specified driveshafts.

Dana promptly requested return of the failed parts, and initiated an investigation, including materials analysis, to evaluate the report. While Dana’s investigation was ongoing, on or about May 25, 2023, Dana received report of a driveshaft separation from customer, Navistar. Dana promptly requested return of this failed part, and initiated an investigation, including materials analysis, to evaluate this report.
