On certain Volvo 704, 744 and 745, the front driveshaft flange bolts may loosen and result in separation of the driveshaft from the transmission. Separation can cause damage to the gear selector and loss of power to the rear wheels which could lead to diminished vehicle control under certain circumstances. Correction: Driveshaft flange bolts and nuts will be replaced and the joint between the driveshaft and transmission will be modified.
