Defect
② Insufficient water protection for the battery allows rainwater and other moisture to reach the top of the battery. When the battery is replaced, the shape of the electrolyte filler port on some replacement batteries allows water to enter the battery, increasing the electrolyte volume. The overflowing electrolyte contacts the ABS hydraulic unit, causing it to corrode. In the worst case, brake fluid may leak from the corroded unit, reducing braking force.
Corrective action
② On all vehicles, confirm whether the battery has been replaced. If the battery has been replaced, inspect the battery and inspect the ABS hydraulic unit for corrosion; replace any corroded ABS hydraulic unit and brake pipes with new parts, and install a battery cover. If the battery has not been replaced, install a battery cover.

状況
②バッテリーの被水対策が不十分なため、バッテリー上面に雨水等がかかるものがある。 そのため、バッテリーを交換した場合、バッテリー液注入口の形状によっては雨水等がバ ッテリー内に侵入し、バッテリー液量が増加して、漏れたバッテリー液がＡＢＳハイドロ リックユニットにかかり、当該ＡＢＳハイドロリックユニットが腐食して、最悪の場合、 ブレーキ液が漏れて制動力が低下するおそれがある。
改善措置
②全車両、バッテリーの交換有無を確認し、バッテリーが交換されている場合は、バッテ リーの点検を行い、ＡＢＳハイドロリックユニットの腐食有無を点検して、腐食している ものにはＡＢＳハイドロリックユニット及びブレーキパイプを新品と交換するとともに、 バッテリーカバーを新たに装着する。また、バッテリーが交換されていない場合は、バッ テリーカバーを新たに装着する。
