The torsen part(s) in the AWD system are defective thus causing a noticeable vibration at speeds of 40-80mph. The vibration can vary from significant to slight depending on ambient temp, vehicle/part temp, speed, acceleration profile, and length of time at cruise. Manufacturer is aware of the problem but will not acknowledge officially that it presents a safety hazard. It could ultimately lead to a catastrophic failure of the part at speed and subsequent loss of control at high speed.
