|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | March 2, 2006 |

Defect
On four-wheel-drive vehicles, the weld joining the rear coil spring lower seat to the rear axle beam is insufficient. Vibration during driving causes the weld to detach and the seat to tilt, deforming the brake pipes secured to it. Continued operation damages the brake pipes and, in the worst case, allows brake fluid to leak, reducing braking force.
Corrective action
Inspect the serial number of the rear axle beam on all vehicles. Replace any affected beam with a conforming unit. On vehicles where the weld has already detached, also replace the brake pipes and brake hose with new parts.

状況
四輪駆動車において、後輪緩衝装置のコイルスプリングの台座（ロアシート）とリヤアクスルビームとの溶接が不十分なため、走行中の振動等により、当該溶接部が剥れ台座が傾き、台座に固定されているブレーキパイプが変形するものがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、ブレーキパイプが損傷し、最悪の場合、ブレーキ液が漏れて制動力が低下するおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、リヤアクスルビームの製造番号を点検し、該当するものはリヤアクスルビームを良品と交換する。また、当該溶接部に剥れがあるものは、ブレーキパイプ及び、ブレーキホースを新品と交換する。
