Defect
The rear axle differential incorporates an Active Yaw Control system that manages left-right drive force distribution at the rear wheels. A defect in part of the computer program controlling this system may, depending on engine start timing, cause the drive force transfer clutch to engage continuously. Continued use in this condition may, in the worst case, damage the rear axle differential.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the control computer with a corrected part.
