- Published by: Transport Canada \(Canada\)
- Campaign number: 2019206

- Component: Powertrain
- Notification type: Safety Mfr

## What is wrong

Issue:

On certain 4x4 trucks, the rear driveshaft may not have been properly welded. As a result, a weld could break and cause the driveshaft to detach from the truck. If the vehicle was in rear wheel drive mode, this would cause a loss of propulsion.

Safety Risk:

A driveshaft that detaches could result in a loss of propulsion, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, a driveshaft that separates from the truck could create a hazard for other drivers and nearby people.

Corrective Actions:

The company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a dealer to replace the rear driveshaft with one that is properly welded.
