Filing in context
This notification is a joint filing by 2 manufacturers: Mazda & Nissan.
This is the only filing in the archive that cites the Powertrain (power transmission) as the affected component. This filing is one of 12 Mazda notifications from 1998 in this archive. For scale, 2,125 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 10 years and 1 month.
Defect
In the powertrain, the fastening structure between the rear axle casing and the differential carrier is inadequate. Repeated severe acceleration and deceleration can cause the fastening bolts to loosen and oil to leak. In the worst case, the final drive gear may seize and render the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
On vehicles with 8 fastening bolts, all vehicles: replace the bolts with corrected parts and add spacers and anti-rotation plates. On vehicles with 10 fastening bolts: replace the differential carrier and axle casing with corrected parts.
