A recall listed here may apply to a vehicle of this year, make and model. Only the manufacturer can say whether it applies to one vehicle: check the VIN with the official lookups.

What is wrong

ON CERTAIN 4X4 VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A FABCO TC-200 TRANSFER CASE, AN EXCESSIVE FRONT DRIVE SHAFT ANGLE MAY CAUSE ACCELERATED WEAR AND FAILURE OF THE DRIVE SHAFT AND RELATED COMPONENTS.

What can happen

THIS FAILURE CAN CAUSE THE FRONT DRIVE SHAFT TO BECOME SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING AND FALL INTO THE PATH OF OTHER VEHICLES ON THE HIGHWAY RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE EXISTING FRONT DRIVE SHAFT WITH A DOUBLE-CARDAN TYPE SHAFT. THE OWNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED BEGINNING ON FEBRUARY 28, 2005, CONCERNING THE FINAL REMEDY FOR THESE VEHICLES. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT INTERNATIONAL TRUCK AT 1-800-448-7825. INTERIM NOTICES WERE MAILED TO OWNERS DURING DECEMBER 2003.
