I suppose you could classify bolts coming loose as "not" a failure. Maybe more in line with an assembly issue. The allen bolts within the assembly, not the hex bolts on the outside are what came loose. This resulted in the half shaft breaking the rear diff cover's mounting ear (I assume that's what it is called). You really cant safety wire the allen bolts that came loose as they are all recessed. I ended up using some red loctite on reassembly and also pulled the other side apart and did the same.
