RJ-0453-0

For vehicles with the wheelbase of 2810mm (The related recall RJ-0452-0 states the wheelbase is 2180mm), the propeller shaft may vibrate abnormally at the top speed range because the structure of the power train is improper. At worst, the propeller shaft could break causing the vehicle to stall. Incidentally, the factory approved replacement (RJ-0452-0, issued on 6 September 1995) of replacing the propeller shaft with a new one and adjusting the fuel injection pump to decrease the maximum speed was carried out on 208 vehicles.
