What is wrong
ON CERTAIN MEDIUM DUTY TRUCKS, THE DRIVE SHAFT CONNECTING THE TRANSMISSION TO THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS COMPRISED OF TWO OR THREE INDIVIDUAL SUB-SECTIONS BOLTED TOGETHER. ONE END OF EACH INDIVIDUAL SUB-SECTION CONTAINS A FLANGE YOKE SUPPORTING A UNIVERSAL JOINT. THE FLANGE YOKE ON ONE OR MORE INDIVIDUAL SUB-SECTIONS COULD DEVELOP A CRACK IN THE SHOULDER SUPPORTING THE UNIVERSAL JOINT.
What can happen
THIS CONDITION COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE DRIVE SHAFT SUB-SECTION. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN MAY 5, 2003. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT NISSAN DIESEL AT 1-972-756-5500.

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.
