For 4WD vehicles, the bolts connecting the front propeller shaft and the front differential do not have sufficient strength to withstand the torque from the shaft, and therefore they may become loose causing abnormal noise. If the vehicle continues to be driven with the loose bolt(s), all the bolts may become loose, in which case the front propeller shaft could separate.

Correction:
For TA-GNF50 and UA-GNF50 type vehicles, the bolts, the front propeller shaft and the companion flange on the front differential should be replaced with the factory approved replacement units. For GH-NV35 and GH-NM35 type vehicles, the bolts should be replaced with new ones and be tightened in the specified method, and the sticker to explain how to tighten the bolts should be placed on the front propeller shaft.
