Certain vehicles may have received an incorrectly manufactured rear driveshaft coupling (part number TVF100010) as a replacement part during service. Drive coupling failure could allow the driveshaft to detach from the vehicle, resulting in a loss of propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road condition, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash.

As well, a driveshaft separating from the vehicle could strike another vehicle, stationary object, or bystander. These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury.

Correction: Dealers will replace the driveshaft coupling.

On certain vehicles, the underbody coating may have been incorrectly formulated and excessively applied during the vehicle assembly process. This can result in rigid, icicle-like formations of underbody coating hanging from the undercarriage of the vehicle, which could damage the fuel lines and cause a leak.

Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury.

Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, remove excessive underbody coating near the fuel lines.

On certain vehicles, a fuel line quick connector could uncouple as a result of contact with a coolant pipe. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire. Fuel leakage could also cause the engine to misfire and stall.

Engine stalling would result in lost vehicle propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road condition, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash. These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury.

Correction: Dealers will install a spacer ring to prevent contact between the fuel line quick connector and the coolant pipe.

On certain vehicles, the steering gear pitman arm may not have been manufactured correctly and could fail. Pitman arm failure would cause a loss of steering control, which could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.

Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the steering gear pitman arm.
