What Happened
The driveshaft in your ILX is like a long rod that connects the engine to the wheels. It's held together by a set-ring that needs to be properly seated to do its job.
Risk if Unfixed
If the set-ring doesn't engage correctly, the driveshaft could come loose while you're driving, and you could lose control of your vehicle. This could cause a crash or even an injury, especially if you're parked in gear.
Free Fix
Your Acura dealer will check the driveshaft and half shaft to make sure everything is secure. If necessary, they'll replace them with new parts, and it will be done at no cost to you.
