Toyota Motor Corporation announced that they will be recalling certain models of the 2007 Toyota Tundra. They stated that on certain 4 wheel drive pickup trucks, due to the improper heat treatment of the slip yokes that had been reworked during the manufacturing process, the hardness of the slip yoke may be insufficient.
In this condition, there is a possibility that the yoke may break causing the propeller shaft to seperate at the joint and come into contact with the road surface or the fuel tank which could result in a loss of vehicle control or a fuel leak.
Dealers will inspect the slip yoke and replace the propeller shaft if necessary free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during January 2008. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
