On certain C20, G1, G3 and K20 vehicles, the differential shaft lock screw loosens and falls out. Either the lock screw or the cross pin can become lodged in the rotating parts of the axle, which can cause extensive damage to the axle. If this were to occur while the vehicle was in motion, it could result in loss of vehicle control and an accident.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 1983039.
