Just come across a short article on AutoCZ re a long term test Yeti 110 4x4 Ambition that has suffered catastrophic failure of the rear differential. Refers you to an AutoTip magazine article for cause (out this week). However it apears that a cotter pin was missed during assembly

Photos are interesting viewing; bottom of the article Auto CZ

Splint fehlt (German) = cotter pin missing

Ouch!!! They should be able to trace the batch no, the build day, the the F***WIT who forgot to fit the cotter pin!! And then **** him across the head with the broken diff!! Wonder how many could be suspect???....Recall notice to make sure methinks!

Looks like an incident rate of 1. Not likely to have any consequence except for that one vehicle.

i suspect this is a Haldex supplied part, manufactured in Landskrona, Sweden.

Hi Agerbunden,

yes I believe your correct looking at the part numbers;

0BR 525 010, >> 29.11.09

0BR 525 010 B, 30.11.09 >>
