Defect
On four-wheel-drive vehicles, inadequate design of the intermediate shaft inside the transfer case allows the right-side drive shaft to be improperly seated. When a large impact is applied, such as traversing a step or curb, the drive shaft may disengage, producing abnormal noise, an oil leak, and poor acceleration. In the worst case, the vehicle may become inoperable or roll away while parked.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the intermediate shaft inside the transfer case with a corrected part.
