Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

The reduction in strength may result in premature axle failure, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

Strange Engineering, Inc.

(Strange) is recalling certain Modified Street Axles, part numbers P3109F05, P3509F05, P3509F0558, P3509F0558S, and P3509F05S, manufactured December 8, 2011, to April 17, 2015.

The affected drive axles were modified after being heated treated and, as a result, the axles may have reduced strength.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Which ones, by part or lot: the recall’s report on NHTSA’s site gives them where the maker did; this file gives part numbers only where its maker listed them.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
