This coupler shaft has a flexible yoke with a pinch bolt clamp at each end to secure the shaft to each assembly. The flexible yoke on the end that attaches to the gearbox could develop a crack near the pinch bolt clamp.
Risk: A loss of steering control could occur, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: All vehicles were still in dealer inventory and have been repaired.

The flange yoke on one or more individual sub-sections could develop a crack in the shoulder supporting the universal joint.
Risk: This condition could increase the risk of a crash.
