Yes - it's a known problem.

I think this is the bulletin number:

Q150 ROW - Differential Oil Level

Q150 is a quarantine notice for ROW (rest of world) vehicles.

The bulletin he is refering to is LTB00345v2/2011.

Rear Differential Lower Level Repair Notification.




The basic jist of it is; pinion tail bearing spalling caused by subsurface material deformation. The cause of the deformation is static overload.
