WHILE DRIVING, AT ANY SPEED, I EXPERIENCED A LOUD HUMMING NOISE FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR FACILITY AND WAS TOLD THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS DEFECTIVE. DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE TOPIC, FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY CASES OF THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILING BEFORE THE RECOMMENDED SERVICE TIME OF 10 YEARS/100,000 MILES. IT APPEARS LAND ROVER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS COMMENTED ON REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE UNIT WITH A NEW DESIGNED REAR DIFFERENTIAL. A CALL TO LAND ROVER CORPORATE REGARDING A RECALL WAS NEGATIVE, AND NON COMMITTAL TO A SOLUTION OTHER THAN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE OF $2500 TO ME. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS THIS COMPONENT IS PART OF THE DRIVE TRAIN. *TR
