What NHTSA recorded

The drive shaft front centering spline may experience excessive wear due to insufficient lubrication. This can result in transmission jamming, a sudden elimination of power and handling difficulties. Excessive wear could also result in rear transmission housing damage.

Remedy

The drive shaft will be replaced if evidence of premature wear is found. Also, the rear housing and output yoke will be replaced with a new type that will permit sufficient lubrication of the spline. This will be performed free of charge.
