Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1123220 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | June 11, 2009 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Hino, Isuzu |
| Component | Steering Linkage |
| Production period | September 26, 1989 — August 24, 2007 |
| Vehicles affected | 11,841 units |
Defect
On route buses and similar vehicles, the steering cut angle is incorrect. When studded winter tires are fitted and the steering is turned to its maximum lock while traversing a step or bump, or when the vehicle is operated at increased ride height, the tires may contact the drag link. Continued operation in this condition causes rust to develop at the contact point and, in the worst case, the drag link may fracture, resulting in loss of steering control.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, affix a caution label near the driver's seat. On vehicles fitted with tires and disc wheels that may contact the drag link, adjust the cut-angle stopper. If contact marks are found on the drag link, replace it with a new part.

状況
路線バス等において、タイヤの切角が不適切なため、スタッドレスタイヤを装着してハンドルを最大限度まで切った状態で段差を通過した場合、もしくは車高が高い状態で走行した場合、タイヤがドラッグリンクと接触することがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、接触部分に錆が発生し、最悪の場合、当該リンクが折損して、操舵ができなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、コーションラベルを運転席近傍に貼付する。接触するおそれのあるタイヤ及びディスクホイールを装着している車両は、切角ストッパを調整する。ドラッグリンクに接触痕がある場合は、新品と交換する。
