Component: POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DRIVESHAFT

Defect Description

Dana Driveshaft Manufacturing, LLC (Dana) is recalling certain commercial vehicle lightweight driveshafts, model SPL250. In affected driveshafts, the welded bond of the driveshaft and the rear yoke may fail, leading to slippage between the driveshaft and yoke and, potentially, to loss of torque to the rear wheels.

Consequence / Hazard

If the welded bond fails and results in a loss of torque to the rear wheels, the vehicle operator may be unable to move the vehicle, or may experience deceleration if the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

Proposed Solution

Dana has notified owners, and dealers have inspected all units and replaced those that showed signs of welding issues, free of charge. The recall began in September 2014. Owners may contact Dana customer service at 1-419-887-3000.
