NHTSA recall 11V254000
Power Train · Toyota Motor Corporation
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with a 3-joint type propeller shaft. Due to improper casting of the slip yokes, there is a possibility that the slip yoke may break, causing the propeller shaft to separate at the joint and come into contact with the road surface.
Why it matters: The driver could experience loss of motive power and vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Toyota will notify owners and inspect the propeller shaft and, if necessary, replace it free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during May 2011.
