Defect
The No. 3 cross member that supports the propeller shaft has insufficient strength, causing cracks to develop in the cross member. Continued use can progress the damage and, in the worst case, the cross member fractures and can no longer retain the propeller shaft.
Corrective action
Replace the cross member on all vehicles with the corrected part. On vehicles for which replacement with the corrected part is not immediately possible, reinforce the existing cross member and add a new cross member.
