Service bulletin 951918
A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary
SOME VEHICLES MAY HAVE A DRIVESHAFT IMBALANCE WHEN OPERATED AT HIGH ROAD SPEEDS. THIS IMBALANCE CAN RESULT IN A CRACK IN THE TORQUE CONVERTER HOUSING OF THE TRANSMISSION AND/OR DRIVESHAFT TWISTING. THE DRIVESHAFT IMBALANCE OCCURS WHEN TRANSMISSION TORQUING FORCES BEND THE SHAFT WHEN IN OVERDRIVE RPM. THE DRIVESHAFT BENDING CAN BE CORRECTED BY REPLACING THE EXITING DRIVESHAFT WITH A SHORTER SHAFT.
