Narrative:
Air Canada Rouge Flight RV1878, an Airbus A319-114, was climbing through FL250 after takeoff from Toronto-Pearson International Airport, ON (YYZ) when the flight crew encountered intermittent faults in the PFD/ND, VHF radios and an intermittent un-commanded roll and yaw and associated ECAMs were transient. Flight crew disconnected the autopilot and requested return to CYYZ from Cleveland ARTCC. Mild un-commanded yaw and roll occurred until the flight descended through 17 000 feet ASL. During descent, FAC 1 ECAM was received and actioned by the flight crew. PAN PAN was subsequently declared as a precaution. Autopilot was reengaged after the un-commanded yaw and roll ceased during descent. The aircraft landed above MLW on CYYZ Rwy 33R with aircraft rescue and firefighting on standby. The flight taxied to the gate.

Maintenance inspected the aircraft in accordance with the aircraft maintenance manual and found the #1 IDG to be defective. The unit was removed and replaced with a serviceable unit. Subsequent serviceability tests were carried out with satisfactory result.
