The risk
IF CLAMP PLATE BREAKS, YOKE WOULD FLY OFF AT DETACHEDPOINT AND COULD INJURY ANYONE STRUCK BY FLYING FRAGMENTS. ALSO, THE DETACHEDINNER SHAFT COULD INTERFERE WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM AIR SUPPLY HOSES AND TRACTORTIRES, WHICH COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF TRUCK CONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT.
The fix
INSTALL NEW CLAMPING PLATES AND CAPSCREWS IN ALL LOCATIONS AS NEEDED.
SYSTEM: DRIVE SHAFT YOKE CLAMP PLATES.VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS.
