Defect
On manual transmission vehicles, the center bearing retainer bracket on the propeller shaft has insufficient strength. Frequent driving maneuvers that demand high acceleration forces—such as rapid acceleration from low speed or hard launches—may fracture the bracket and cause the center bearing section to separate. In the worst case, the vehicle becomes inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the retainer bracket and mounting spacer with corrected parts. On vehicles equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission, also replace the propeller shaft with the corrected part.
