Rear diff seepage after recall

So they fixed it and it actually seems to be running WAY better. Pumped about it.

 

Running better ?

 

Here is what they changed on mine back in October, I believe one of these these things is axle seals hahaha.Mine was not on the recall list, (SR 5MT) so it was all done under warranty.

 

Um yes if it was low on gear oil it would most certainly run better (quieter) and have better mpg's/smoothness.

 

Yeah but its BS even if they just retorque it, it will still leak eventually in time. The gaskets and bolts that they used were cheap quality. They replace them with better ones.

 

Do we really have too answer that.

 

Replaced the gasket and obviously put new fluid in

 

Keep in mind warranties have no effect on recalls. If you truck is on the list they have to fix it period mileage doesn't matter.

 

Yes, parts 90310-580003 are the axle seals...

 

It is just the gaskets and nuts that are replaced--the OEM studs remain--leading me to believe the studs are not at issue; just not torqued properly at assembly

 

The issue is the cheap gaskets that they used not the studs or being torqued properly. Even when they torque them down properly, they still come back leaking. Ive already been through this process.

 

OP - my "17 Sport MT was not on any recall. I did my due diligence(thank you TW!!) and checked my pumpkin and sure enough I had two spots smaller, but similar to yours. Brought it up to the dealer and long story short; new seal, retourqed, re-filled. Dealer will take care of it.

 

good to know..... I am in the same boat as you
