Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1114280 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | May 12, 2005 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Mazda |
| Component | ABS |
| Production period | November 1991 — September 30, 1994 |
| Vehicles affected | 13,297 units |
Defect
On four-wheel-drive vehicles, the deceleration sensor (G-sensor) used for ABS control contains a capacitor that may leak electrolytic fluid after extended use. The fluid contacts the terminals of an IC mounted on the same circuit board, causing a short circuit that prevents the G-sensor from functioning correctly. As a result, the ABS does not operate normally and stopping distance is extended.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the affected G-sensor with a corrected part. Because supply of the corrected part requires time, an interim measure will be implemented immediately: all owners will be notified of the defect, the G-sensor will be removed, and the ABS will be disabled until the corrected part is available.

状況
四輪駆動車の制動装置において、ＡＢＳの制御に使用している減速度検知装置（Ｇセンサー）の構成部品であるコンデンサーを長期間使用するとコンデンサーから電解液が漏れるものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、電解液が同一基板上に設置されているＩＣの端子に付着し、端子間で短絡してＧセンサーが適正に機能しなくなり、ＡＢＳが正常に作動しないため制動距離が長くなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、当該Ｇセンサーを対策品と交換する。尚、対策品の供給に時間を要すことから、当面の暫定措置として、全ての使用者に不具合を通知してＧセンサーを取り外し、ＡＢＳが作動しないようにする。
