Defect
During casting of the left-side case of the rear differential, insufficient mold-release agent was applied, causing the case to adhere to the mold and sustain a crack upon removal. Continued use allows the crack to propagate, resulting in an oil leak. In the worst case, the vehicle may become inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the left-side rear differential case for cracks. If a crack is found, replace the case with a non-defective part.

状況
後輪差動装置の左側ケースにおいて、鋳造する際に鋳型へ塗布する薬剤（離型剤）が不足していたため、当該ケースが鋳型に固着し、取り出し時に亀裂が生じたものがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、亀裂が進行してオイルが漏れ、最悪の場合、走行不能になるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、後輪差動装置の左側ケースの亀裂を点検し、亀裂が確認された場合は良品と交換する。
