On certain vehicles, a lubrication hole within the 6-speed manual transmission transfer case was not drilled during machining process. This could lead to premature wear or breakage of third gear. If the third gear breaks while the vehicle is in motion a loss of power to the drive wheels will occur, which may result in a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealers will drill an oil lubrication hole in the transfer case and, if necessary, replace internal components.
