Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1104710 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | April 3, 1997 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Daihatsu, Toyota |
| Component | Differential |
| Production period | September 26, 1996 — January 24, 1997 |
| Vehicles affected | 33,840 units |
Defect
On four-wheel-drive vehicles, the venting structure of the front differential is improperly designed. At high vehicle speeds, lubricating oil may leak from the breather valve, causing oil level to drop and generating abnormal noise. In the worst case, the differential may be damaged and the vehicle rendered inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the breather valve with a corrected part and install it in the specified position. On vehicles with significantly low lubricant level, inspect the differential and replace any damaged components with new parts.
