Filing in context
This notification is a joint filing by 2 manufacturers: Hino & Isuzu.
The Engine Assembly is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 43 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 34 Hino notifications from 2005 in this archive. For scale, 2,388 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 4 years and 8 months.
Defect
The clearance between the butterfly valve and the valve case in the engine intake throttle valve is set incorrectly. Carbon deposits from exhaust gas recirculation accumulate on the tip of the valve and cause it to catch on the valve case. As a result, the engine may stall while driving and fail to restart. (This notification supersedes the improvement campaign filed on September 18, 2001 under Notification No. 188. Because the corrective measures taken at that time were insufficient, the scope of the remedy has been revised and expanded.)
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the stopper bolt and nut with corrected parts to widen the clearance of the intake throttle valve.

状況
原動機の吸気絞り弁において、バタフライバルブとバルブケースの隙間設定が不適切なため、バルブ先端に排気再循環ガスのカーボンが堆積して当該バルブがバルブケースと引っ掛かるものがある。そのため、走行中にエンストして再始動できなくなるおそれがある。 （本届出は、平成１３年９月１８日付け「届出番号１８８」の改善対策届出において、不具合に対する改善措置の内容が不十分であったため、改善措置の内容を見直し、対象範囲を拡大して、再度対策を行うものである。）
改善措置
全車両、吸気絞り弁の隙間を広げるためストッパボルト・ナットを対策品に交換する。
