The issue
On certain vehicles, the cast output yoke on M-B transmissions may fracture on vehicles with 1610 or 16T series drivelines. After a yoke fractures, the main driveline becomes unsupported immediately behind the transmission. Correction: Dealers will replace the cast transmission output yoke with a forged part.
