Warranty Enhancement - Propeller Shaft Universal Joints

Hello All, anyone else got a note ?

I am not sure what the fix includes but I am hopefully this will fix the driveline vibrations.

 

Huh, interesting.
I’ve only recently noticed this issue, and was about to try and fix it.

Guess I’ll wait for my letter now.

 

Yup, got my letter last week.

 

Just got mine today. Wondering how noticeable this is?

 

I have a little vibration in mine at low speeds, mostly 30-40 mph. I have been blaming it on the Nitto's, but maybe it's this?

 

I got this recall notice too.

In the envelope there is also another paper that says the dealer may charge diagnosis fees if there isn't a problem with the u-joints.

 

Interesting...... i have vibrations in my driveshaft.........

 

Yup. Me too. I'm pretty sure my U-joints need replacing (vibration began only a month or two ago and greasing changed the nature of the vibration but didn't eliminate it) but a bit leery of being charged a diagnosis fee if that's not the source of vibration. Truck's not insured at the moment, but I think I'll take it in after Christmas.

 

I'm kinda dumb but this kinda work i'm sure the dealer has no problem with doing if it is/isnt bad.. techs flag easy hours replacing these parts.

 

Just got this letter today. I had some vibration sometimes when I start rolling, and some noise. I suspect the carrier bearing, but the dealer can definitely take a look at the u-joints!

 

Got this in the mail today. If Toyota wants to replace my ujoints at 497,000 km then they are welcome to. I don't have any noticeable problems with them at the moment though.

Usually ujoint failure is noticeable because the vibration is there under throttle but goes away when you're coasting.

 

I've already had the carrier and u-joint replaced, it started shaking again. Wondering if I should have Toyota look at mine?

 

hope i get this letter and it covers already replaced u joints. i've had to replace two of them so far. i just treated them as wear items, but wouldn't mind getting a refund

 

It’s not a recall. It clearly states Warranty Enhancement.

 

Update....

Got it done, dealership replaced driveshaft assembly ( Including carrier bearing ).

Vibes are 95 % gone.

 

Guess I should make an appointment.

 

Do you have a lifted truck?

 

Stock truck.

Forgot to mention new driveshaft does not have any grease nipples/Zerks.

Anyone else with non greasable driveshaft ?

 

did you look at all the u joints.

 

Sure did, old DS had grease fittings.

I ll check with dealership Friday
