Section 5 (p.76) says:

ipDefaultRouterLifetime OBJECT-TYPE
    SYNTAX     Unsigned32 (0..65535)
    UNITS      "seconds"
    MAX-ACCESS read-only
    STATUS     current
    DESCRIPTION
           "The remaining length of time, in seconds, that this router
            will continue to be useful as a default router.  A value of
            zero indicates that it is no longer useful as a default
            router.  It is left to the implementer of the MIB as to
            whether a router with a lifetime of zero is removed from the
            list.

            For IPv6, this value should be extracted from the router
            advertisement messages."
    REFERENCE "For IPv6 RFC 2462 sections 4.2 and 6.3.4"
    ::= { ipDefaultRouterEntry 4 }

It should say:

ipDefaultRouterLifetime OBJECT-TYPE
    SYNTAX     Unsigned32 (0..65535)
    UNITS      "seconds"
    MAX-ACCESS read-only
    STATUS     current
    DESCRIPTION
           "The remaining length of time, in seconds, that this router
            will continue to be useful as a default router.  A value of
            zero indicates that it is no longer useful as a default
            router.  It is left to the implementer of the MIB as to
            whether a router with a lifetime of zero is removed from the
            list.

            For IPv6, this value should be extracted from the router
            advertisement messages."
    REFERENCE "For IPv6 RFC 2461 sections 4.2 and 6.3.4"
    ::= { ipDefaultRouterEntry 4 }

Notes:

The REFERENCE clause of ipDefaultRouterLifetime (p.76) refers to an RFC which does not contain the sections referred to. The correct reference should be to RFC 2461.
