Defect

On four-wheel-drive vehicles, the center bearing bracket supporting the front propeller shaft has insufficient rigidity, and the clamp mating surface is machined to inadequate precision. Together, these conditions place excessive load on the mounting bolts. The bolts may fracture, generating abnormal noise. Continued use after fracture causes the bracket to fail, leaving the propeller shaft unsupported and rendering the vehicle inoperable.

Corrective action

On all affected vehicles, replace the mounting bracket and the affected bolts with corrected parts.
