Defect
The frame attachment point of the rear axle upper torque rod bracket has insufficient strength. During hard acceleration or hard braking, high stress develops at this location and may cause a crack to form. Continued operation allows the crack to progress until the bracket fractures and, in the worst case, contacts and damages the propeller shaft, rendering the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
Replace the upper torque rod bracket on all vehicles with the corrected part.
