Defect
The induction hardening range at the base of the propeller shaft slide yoke spline is incorrect, resulting in insufficient strength at that location. Continued use allows a crack to develop at that point. In the worst case, the propeller shaft may fracture, leaving the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the propeller shaft with a non-defective unit.
