The hazard
On certain vehicles, during the manufacturing process of pressing the seal cap onto the propeller shaft yoke, the seal cap may have been positioned incorrectly. This could result in the seal leaking transmission oil onto hot exhaust components, increasing the risk of fire resulting in injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the propeller shaft assembly.
