Recall 94V073001 started on /Date(766468800000-0400)/.

Summary: THE RIGHT REAR AND LEFT AXLE SHAFT HOUSING TUBES WERE INCORRECTLY WELDED AND CAN FRACTURE. FRACTURE OF THE REAR AXLE SHAFT HOUSING CAN RESULT IN SEPARATION OF THE AFFECTED WHEEL ASSEMBLY AND SEPARATION OF THE BRAKE LINE.

Consequence: SEPARATION OF THE WHEEL ASSEMBLY CAN CAUSE LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND SEPARATION OF THE BRAKE LINE RESULTS IN LOSS OF ONE-HALF OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM, INCREASING STOPPING DISTANCE. IN EITHER CASE, AN ACCIDENT CAN OCCUR.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE WELDS OF THE REAR AXLE ASSEMBLIES ON INVOLVED VEHICLES AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE COMPLETE REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY.

Consequence: IF THE SEPARATION OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL CAN RESULT AND AN ACCIDENT CAN OCCUR WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE STEERING SHAFT AND REPLACE IT IF NECESSARY.
