Rosette welds in the center of the axle housings may have insufficient strength, allowing the axle tube to rotate unexpectedly

TAP Worldwide, LLC (TAP) is recalling certain G2 Axle and Gear aftermarket Axle Housings, part number 67-2033TJR. The rosette welds in the center of the axle housings may have insufficient strength, allowing the axle tube to rotate unexpectedly.

If the axle tubes rotate, the vehicle's driveshaft may bind resulting in a loss of power and an increased risk of a crash.

TAP will notify owners and will replace the axle housings with new housings, free of charge. The recall began October 1, 2018. Owners may contact TAP customer service at 1-888-376-1417.
