Details

What's wrong: The propeller shaft may develop cracks during the manufacturing process. Over time, the cracks may eventually lead to the separation of the propeller shaft.

Why it matters: This may result in a loss of vehicle control increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the front propeller shaft on affected vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on March 22, 2010.
