| MLIT filing number | 1114870 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | July 20, 2005 |

| Component | Engine |
| Production period | December 13, 1994 — October 26, 2000 |
| Vehicles affected | 285 units |
Defect
On heavy-duty trucks equipped with an automatic transmission, the flywheel that transmits engine torque to the torque converter was manufactured with an improper shape. Operating the engine at high RPM generates excessive stress at the flywheel base, which can cause a crack to form. Continued use allows the crack to propagate and, in the worst case, the flywheel base fractures, interrupting power transmission and rendering the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the flywheel with the corrected part.

状況
自動変速機を搭載した大型トラックにおいて、エンジンの回転力をトルクコンバータに伝達するフライホイールの形状が不適切なため、エンジンを高回転の状態で走行すると、フライホイール付け根部に過大な応力が生じて、亀裂が発生するものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、亀裂が進行し、最悪の場合、フライホイール付け根部が破損して動力が伝達できず、走行不能となるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、フライホイールを対策品と交換する。
