"It is possible that the transmission was built with the wrong solar gear, which can cause the driver's side half-shaft to disengage from the transmission," the report states.
"This condition can cause the driver's side half-axle to disengage from the transmission, causing a loss of propulsion and/or a loss of mechanical park," he adds.
According to the report, loss of propulsion or mechanical parking can increase the risk of collision and rollover.
