What is wrong
TAP Worldwide, LLC (TAP) is recalling certain G2 Axle and Gear aftermarket Axle Housings, part number 67-2033TJR. The rosette welds in the center of the axle housings may have insufficient strength, allowing the axle tube to rotate unexpectedly.
What can happen
If the axle tubes rotate, the vehicle's driveshaft may bind resulting in a loss of power and an increased risk of a crash.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
TAP will notify owners and will replace the axle housings with new housings, free of charge. The recall began October 1, 2018. Owners may contact TAP customer service at 1-888-376-1417.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
