Porsche technical service bulletin 122-U8L3A-09 for 2015 Porsche 918.

Bulletin number
122-U8L3A-09
Component
Power train: driveline: driveshaft
Summary
There is a possibility that the bolt for the internal axial fixing device for the rear drive shafts on the affected vehicles can become corroded over the service life of the vehicle and break as a result. Given that the drive shafts are supported in tripod joints, this has no effect on vehicle handling. Replace axial fixing device for rear drive shafts. The vehicle must be checked for defects and damage (damage to paintwork, missing parts, etc.) each time it is handed over, transferred or delivered. Confirmation that the vehicle is in good condition or details of any damage to the vehicle must be documented and archived for feedback purposes.
