On certain vehicles equipped with a driveline parking brake, the fasteners that connect the end of the transmission companion flange to the park drum and driveline may loosen. If this is undetected, the fasteners may fatigue and eventually shear off allowing the driveline to separate. Correction: The companion flange fasteners will be inspected for proper torque. If the fasteners are found to be loose they will be replaced. If they are found properly torqued the nuts will be removed, PermaLock added and the nuts will be torqued to specification.
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 1999125.
