On certain vehicles, improper heat treatment during assembly could result in inadequate strength in certain areas of the rear axle shafts. After extended use of the vehicle, the rear axle shafts may fail or break. This could result in rear wheel separation and a possible crash without prior warning. Correction: Rear axle hub will be inspected and replaced if necessary.
