Overview

MLIT filing number1124140
TypeStatutory Recall (government-mandated recall)
Date filedNovember 17, 2009
Manufacturer(s)Nissan, Nissan Diesel
ComponentSteering linkage
Production periodJune 1995 — October 15, 2009
Vehicles affected3,723 units

Defect

The maximum steering angle is incorrectly set, allowing studded snow tires to contact the drag link when the steering is turned to full lock during driving. Continued operation in this condition causes rust to develop at the contact point on the drag link, which may result in damage to the link.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, inspect the tires. On vehicles fitted with tires that may contact the drag link, modify the steering angle stopper. If contact marks are present on the drag link, replace it with a new part. Additionally, apply a caution label to the driver's door opening on all vehicles.

状況

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、当該リンクの接触部分に錆が発生し、損傷するおそれがある。

改善措置

全車両、タイヤを点検し、接触するおそれのあるタイヤを装着している車両は、切角ストッパを変更するとともに、ドラッグリンクに接触痕がある場合は、新品と交換する。尚、全車両、コーションラベルを運転席側ドア開口部に貼付する。
