Hazard
The ventilation structure of the front differential (front axle differential) for four-wheel-drive vehicles is inadequate. At high speeds, lubricating oil may leak from the ventilation valve, causing a reduction in lubricant level, abnormal noise, and in worst cases, differential damage leading to loss of vehicle mobility.

４輪駆動車の前輪用差動装置（フロントディファレンシャル）の通気のための構造が不 適切なため、高速で走行した際、通気弁から潤滑油が漏れるこくがあり、潤滑油が減少し て異音が発生し、最悪の場合、差動装置が損傷して走行不能に至るおそれがある。
Remedy
For all vehicles, replace the ventilation valve with the corrective part and install it to the specified condition. For vehicles with significantly low lubricant levels, inspect the differential, and if damage is found, replace the damaged differential components with new parts.
