Defect
The tie rod spring that retains the tie rod controlling engine fuel injection quantity has insufficient strength. Repeated engine shutdowns may cause the spring to fracture. If the vehicle continues to be operated in this condition, the tie rod spring may detach and the tie rod may fall out of position. In the worst case, engine speed may remain elevated and the engine may become impossible to shut down.
Corrective action
On all vehicles: 1. Replace the tie rod cover with a corrected part. 2. Replace the solenoid with a corrected part having reduced spring force. 3. Replace the tie rod with a corrected part. 4. Replace the tie rod spring with a new part.

状況
エンジンの燃料噴射量を制御するタイロッドにおいて、脱落を防止するタイロッドスプリングの強度が不足しているため、エンジン停止を繰り返し行うと、当該スプリングが折損することがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、タイロッドスプリングが外れてタイロッドが脱落し、最悪の場合、エンジン回転が上昇したままとなり、エンジンの停止ができなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、 １．タイロッドカバーを対策品と交換する。 ２．バネ力を低減した対策品のソレノイドに交換する。 ３．タイロッドを対策品と交換する。 ４．タイロッドスプリングを新品と交換する。
