Toyota recall: Power train
What is wrong
Toyota is recalling certain model year 2011 tundra 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.
What could happen
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. Owners may contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
