On certain medium duty trucks, the drive shaft connecting the transmission to the rear differential is comprised of two or three individual sub-sections bolted together. One end of each individual sub-section contains a flange yoke supporting a universal joint. The flange yoke on one or more individual sub-sections could develop a crack in the shoulder supporting the universal joint.
💥 The risk
This condition could increase the risk of a crash.
