Problem overview

Four wheel drive models of the 2007 Toyota Tundra may suffer from premature failure of the rear driveshaft (prop shaft). Failure occurs at the u-joint due to insufficient material strength for the application.

When failure occurs, vibration increases with speed, and popping or clunking between gears is audible, especially when downshifting to accelerate or when shifting into drive or reverse.

Toyota has issued a revised part which will resolve the issue.
