Driveshaft failure after recall

[Minty JL]

Check out the recall :

It calls for new driveshaft hardware to be used. I appears that the "campaign kits" include the new hardware required.

Nice find, its spelled out for the tech

77. Install the rear driveshaft with the reference marks aligned and tighten the NEW bolts to 39N·m (29ft. lbs.) (Figure 7).

It's been a while since I've posted, but I thought maybe someone here could help. I have a 2020 Rubi with the manual transmission and finally took it in for the clutch/pressure plate recall at Scoggin Dickey in Levelland, TX. After a couple weeks of around town driving, I took a trip to Dallas and as soon as I got into the city my driveshaft came off of the rear differential going 75 down the freeway. Luckily I got to an exit and got out of the middle of the road. I had it towed to a dealership (since it's still under warranty) and they said the bolts were completely gone and none were sheared off, meaning they had become loose and fell out. The dealership that did the recall work is refusing to take any responsibility and it's not covered by warranty since the bolts weren't installed correctly. I'm considering taking legal action but would rather just get the repairs covered. Anyone have a similar issue that you were able to have fixed?

Like I said before those warranties are worthless.
Get it fixed and forget FCA..IMHO
