Filing in context
The Propeller Shaft is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 52 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 3 Toyota notifications from 1994 in this archive. For scale, 1,774 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles.
Defect
During welding of the propeller shaft used in the powertrain of four-wheel-drive vehicles, localized electrode contact caused cracks to form in some propeller shafts. Continued use in this condition may cause the propeller shaft to fracture, rendering the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the propeller shaft identification label. On units with serial numbers 94062010001 through 94071310069, replace the propeller shaft with a non-defective unit.
