Defect

On manual transmission vehicles, the parking brake mounting structure is inadequate, causing the lock nut securing the center brake drum to loosen. Continued operation in this condition may, in the worst case, cause the transmission main shaft to fracture and render the vehicle inoperable.

Corrective action

Inspect all vehicles. If main shaft runout exceeds the specified value, replace the transmission assembly with one incorporating corrected parts. On all other vehicles, replace the speedometer gear and lock nut with corrected parts.

改善措置
