Defect
The mounting angle and mounting position of the bracket supporting the propeller shaft center bearing retainer are improper. Continued operation subjects the retainer to excessive stress from eccentric rotation, causing it to fracture. In the worst case, the vehicle may become inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the affected retainer with the corrected part to establish the proper mounting position. Where the mounting angle is incorrect, correct it using adjustment shims.
