Mci 102DL3, D4505: Powertrain
Affects Mci 102DL3, D4505 · 1993–2008 — about 11 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain vehicles equipped with a driveshaft with a compressed length of 30 inches or less, with a steerable trailing axle that changes the axle caster when the vehicle is in reverse caster, and that lack electronic stability control, the driveshaft could decouple from the transmission due to a universal joint failure. If hard braking is applied, resulting in the drive axle brakes locking up, the potential exists for the driveshaft to escape its containment. This could result in a loss of steering control and ultimately result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will add a secondary drive shaft hoop.
