Defect
During the rear axle U-bolt nut tightening process on light trucks, incorrect settings on the tightening equipment have resulted in insufficient torque on some fasteners. Continued use in this condition may cause the nuts to loosen and the rear axle to shift. In the worst case, the propeller shaft may separate from the vehicle, rendering it unable to be driven.
Corrective action
Verify the tightening torque of the affected nuts on all vehicles. On any vehicle with insufficient torque, replace the U-bolts, nuts, and washers with new parts and tighten to the specified value.
