|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | July 22, 2004 |

| Production period | July 1993 — July 21, 1997 |
| Vehicles affected | 141,818 units |
Defect
The advance control lever of the cold-start advance device has insufficient impact resistance due to inadequate strength margins in its design. During fuel injection pump timing adjustment service, an accidental impact to the lever may cause a crack to develop. Continued use in this condition can cause the lever to fracture, increasing the fuel injection volume and causing engine speed to rise uncontrollably.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the advance control lever with a corrected part.

状況
低温始動時進角装置の進角制御レバーの衝撃に対する強度余裕が十分でないため、燃料噴 射ポンプの噴射時期調整の整備作業時、誤って当該レバーに衝撃を与えると、亀裂が発生 することがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、最悪の場合、当該レバー が折損し、燃料噴射量が増大してエンジン回転が上昇するおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、当該レバーを対策品と交換する。
