NHTSA recall campaign
15E005000
What was wrong
Defect
Dana Driveshaft Manufacturing, LLC (Dana) is recalling certain commercial vehicle lightweight driveshafts, model SPL250, sizes 1610-2200 or 2220-2830, manufactured January 2, 2013, through June 30, 2013. In affected driveshafts, the welded bond of the driveshaft and the rear yoke may fail, leading to slippage between the driveshaft and yoke and, potentially, to loss of torque to the rear wheels.
Risk
If the welded bond fails and results in a loss of torque to the rear wheels, the vehicle operator may be unable to move the vehicle, or may experience deceleration if the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Manufacturer remedy
Dana will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driveshafts, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Dana customer service at 1-419-887-3000. Note: This recall is an expansion of 14E-050.
