Filing in context

Defect
The input shaft of the manual transmission is improperly machined, and on some units the oil supply hole was not machined into the shaft. As a result, oil is not supplied to the bearings of the gears mounted on the input shaft. Continued use causes abnormal noise due to insufficient lubrication and, in the worst case, bearing seizure that renders the vehicle undrivable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the input shaft for the presence of the oil supply hole. Any transmission found to be missing the hole must have the manual transmission replaced with a non-defective unit.

状況
手動変速機のインプットシャフトの加工が不適切なため、オイル供給穴の加工がされていないものがある。そのため、インプットシャフトに装着しているギヤのベアリングにオイルが供給されず、そのまま使用を続けると潤滑不良による異音が発生し、最悪の場合、ベアリングが焼付き、走行できなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、インプットシャフトオイル供給穴の有無を確認し、供給穴のないものは手動変速機を良品と交換する。
