An official CAA Japan notice concerns Passenger cars (Cadillac Escalade) - Repair. Outboard joint ball defect. ■ Defective part, etc.: The supplier applied insufficient heat treatment during manufacture of the outboard joint balls, which are components of the rear wheel drive shaft Assy. Consequently, balls with insufficient hardness were used and may wear or deform during use. If this occurs, abnormal noise or vibration may result. Continued use in this condition may cause seizure. If a ball breaks inside the wheel drive shaft outboard joint, the shaft may spin without transmitting drive and, in the worst case, propulsion may decrease, leaving the vehicle unable to be driven.
