Defect
UNDER SEVERE USE, THE "HIGH HYSTERESIS" REAR RUBBER COUPLING OF THE DRIVE SHAFT MAY DEVELOP FATIGUE RESULTING IN TRANSMISSION VIBRATIONS.
Remedy
THE DEALER WILL REPLACE DEFECTIVE REAR RUBBER COUPLING AND FLANGE WITH A MODIFIED VERSION, WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.
Defect
THE BOLTS WHICH SECURE THE STEERING RACK ASSEMBLY TO THE CHASSIS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN PROPERLY TIGHTENED AND AS A RESULT MAY BECOME LOOSE. AN INCREASING AMOUNT OF STEERING WHEEL PLAY MAY DEVELOP.
Remedy
THE DEALER WILL TIGHTEN ALL LOOSE BOLTS TO SPECIFICATIONS, FREE OF CHARGE.
The record is thin — 0 NHTSA complaints — so owner-report data can't strongly confirm reliability either way, though 3 recalls should be verified as completed.
