Hazard
The welded joint between the propeller shaft pipe and spline shaft in the power transmission system has insufficient fatigue strength. Repeated excessive hard acceleration or hill starts can cause cracks to develop at this joint. Continued operation in this condition may result in propeller shaft fracture, rendering the vehicle unable to operate.

動力伝達装置において、推進軸のパイプとスプラインシャフトの溶接部の耐久強度が不足しているため、急発進、又は登坂での発進を繰り返し過度に行うと当該部に亀裂が発生するものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、最悪の場合、推進軸が折損して走行不能となるおそれがある。
Remedy
Replace the complete propeller shaft assembly with the corrective part on all vehicles. As full supply of corrective parts requires time, a temporary interim measure will inspect the propeller shaft joint; vehicles with cracks detected will have the propeller shaft replaced with the corrective part.
