Toyota recalls trucks for rear drive shaft defect
Toyota Motor Co <7203.T> is recalling 51,000 Tundra pick-up trucks for the model year 2011 due to a potential defect in the rear drive shaft.
The company estimates that that 0.05 percent of the vehicles recalled may have a component-- a slip yoke-- that could break because of improper casting.
There has been one slip yoke failure, but no injuries or accidents linked to the problem, Toyota said.
