Daf Trucks Cf: Propeller Shaft May Detach

Summary DAF Trucks is recalling 495 CF, LF, and XF model vehicles because the pinion shaft in the propeller shaft assembly may not have been properly hardened during manufacturing, which could cause it to fail and detach while driving, resulting in loss of power. Affected vehicle owners need to have the differential examined and torque-checked, with replacement if necessary.
