|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | December 18, 2008 |

| Component | Computer (emissions/noise) |
| Production period | June 2008 — October 31, 2008 |
| Vehicles affected | 213 units |
Defect
The software that calculates particulate matter accumulation inside the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) is incorrect. Under sustained high-load, low-engine-speed operation, the DPF automatic regeneration cycle—which burns off collected particulate matter—does not execute properly. Excessive particulate matter accumulates, causing engine malfunction and, in the worst case, engine stall with inability to restart.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, reprogram the DPF control software. Additionally, inspect the particulate matter accumulation level inside the DPF; if accumulation exceeds the replacement threshold, replace the DPF assembly with a new unit.

状況
ＤＰＦ（ディーゼル粒子状物質除去装置）内部の粒子状物質堆積量を計算するプログラムが不適切なため、高負荷でエンジン回転の低い状態で使用を続けると、ＤＰＦの自動再生（捕集した粒子状物質の燃焼除去）が適切に行われず、多量の粒子状物質が堆積してエンジンが不調となり、最悪の場合、エンストして再始動不能となるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、当該プログラムを変更する。また、ＤＰＦ内部の粒子状物質堆積量を点検し、交換基準を超えているものはＤＰＦ一式を新品と交換する。
