The product poses a risk of injuries because the gearbox cover is not properly sealed and if it comes loose from its seating unforeseeable loss of oil may cause the drive to seize up in the primary transmission housing. If the transmission seizes up, the rear axle will lock, possibly resulting in loss of control of the vehicle.
