|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | March 31, 2005 |

Defect
On vehicles equipped with a column-type automatic transmission, the clamping structure between the plastic base plate and guide plate inside the shift lever is inadequate. Prolonged outdoor parking in direct sunlight reduces the clamping force at the fastening point, and repeated shift operations can loosen the fastening screws, producing abnormal noise and a catching sensation. Continued use may cause the screws to fall out and the guide plate to detach. This disables the key interlock system linked to the shift mechanism, preventing the ignition key from being removed and rendering the steering lock inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the fastening screws with new screws coated with a thread-locking compound.

状況
コラム式自動変速機付き車において、シフトレバー内部にある樹脂製ベースプレートとガイドプレートの締付け構造が不適切なため、炎天下の屋外駐車などにより当該締付け部の締付け軸力が低下し、シフト操作の繰り返しにより締付ねじが緩んで異音や引っ掛かりが発生するものがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、最悪の場合、ねじが脱落してガイドプレートが外れ、シフト機構と連動しているキーインターロック装置が正常に作動しなくなり、イグニッションキーが抜けず、かじ取り装置の施錠装置が機能しなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、当該締付ねじを緩み防止剤を塗布したものと交換する。
