Defect
During the assembly process, improper brake fluid filling procedures applied excessive force to the joint between the brake reservoir tank and the master cylinder. This causes the rubber seal at the joint to fold over, resulting in a fluid leak. Continued use causes the brake warning light to illuminate and, in the worst case, allows air to enter the brake system, reducing braking force.
Corrective action
Inspect the joint between the brake reservoir tank and the master cylinder for brake fluid leaks. If a leak is found, replace the brake reservoir tank with a new part and fill brake fluid to the specified level.

状況
組立工程において、制動液の注入作業が不適切なため、ブレーキリザーバタンクとブレーキマスターシリンダ結合部に過大な力が加わり、当該結合部のゴム製シールがめくれて液漏れが発生するものがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けるとブレーキ警告灯が点灯し、最悪の場合、空気が入り込み制動力が低下するおそれがある。
改善措置
ブレーキリザーバタンクとブレーキマスターシリンダ結合部から制動液の漏れを点検し、漏れている場合はブレーキリザーバタンクを新品に交換し制動液を規定量注入する。
