NOTE:
This bulletin applies to vehicles equipped with all wheel drive.
DISCUSSION:
Due to improper diagnosis, some rear differential seals are being replaced for what appears to be a seal leak. Grease is used to lubricate the seal during
installation to the rear differential, after a period of time this grease may migrate to the surrounding housing and appear to look like an oil leak. Seals
should not be replaced for this condition (Fig. 1).
