On certain all wheel drive vehicles, extended operation at speeds of over 130 KPH may result in structural failure of the transmission/transfer case assembly. This could result in fluid expulsion, driveshaft separation or loss of vehicle drive. Fluid leakage in the presence of an ignition source, could cause a vehicle fire and driveshaft separation may lead to loss of vehicle control. Correction: Transfer case housing will be replaced and steel driveshaft will be replaced with an aluminum driveshaft.
