Defect
The dynamic damper installed on the rear axle differential to reduce vibration has insufficient strength in both the weight-support rubber and the retaining pins that prevent the weight from detaching. Continued use causes the weight-support rubber to break down, after which the retaining pins fracture. In the worst case, the weight detaches and becomes a road hazard, endangering other traffic. (Note: This notification adds newly identified vehicles to the recall filed on January 13, 2004, as Notification 1021.)
Corrective action
Replace the dynamic damper on all vehicles with a corrected part.
