Defect

The rear engine mount that supports the engine has insufficient strength in its vibration-isolating rubber section. Repeated rotational rocking of the engine during acceleration causes cracks to develop in the rubber, which may progress to fracture. Continued operation then damages the front engine mount as well and, in the worst case, the powertrain-side support for the transmission control linkage may detach, making gear changes impossible. (Note: This recall supplements the original filing dated September 29, 2004, Notification No. 1238. Additional vehicles are being added due to an omission in the original scope selection.)

Corrective action

On all vehicles, the rear engine mount is replaced with a corrected part and the front engine mount is replaced with a new part.

状況

エンジンを支持しているエンジンリヤマウントにおいて、防振ゴム部の強度が不足しているため、発進加速時のエンジン回転方向の揺動の繰返しにより、当該マウントのゴム部に亀裂が発生し、破断することがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、エンジンフロントマウントも損傷し、最悪の場合、変速機操作力伝達機構の原動機側支持部が外れて、変速操作が出来なくなるおそれがある。 (備考)本件は、平成16年9月29日付け「届出番号1238」にてリコール届出を行ったものですが、対象車の選定に集計漏れがあったため、対象車を追加し、新たに届出するものです。

改善措置

全車両、エンジンリヤマウントを対策品と交換する。また、エンジンフロントマウントを新品と交換する。
