G2 Axle & Gear recall: Power train
What is wrong
TAP Worldwide, LLC (TAP) is recalling certain G2 Axle and Gear aftermarket Axle Housings, part number 67-2033TJR. The rosette welds in the center of the axle housings may have insufficient strength, allowing the axle tube to rotate unexpectedly.
What could happen
If the axle tubes rotate, the vehicle's driveshaft may bind resulting in a loss of power and an increased risk of a crash.
The fix
TAP will notify owners and will replace the axle housings with new housings, free of charge. The recall began October 1, 2018. Owners may contact TAP customer service at 1-888-376-1417.
