Defect
The corrected engine oil cooler hose supplied for recall campaign notification no. 2412 (dated November 12, 2009) has insufficient hose pull-out resistance at the connection point. Continued use may cause the hose to separate from the oil cooler connection. In the worst case, the escaping oil may contact the exhaust pipe and result in a vehicle fire.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the oil cooler hose and hose clamp with corrected parts and add a new threaded clamp. Note: Because the root cause has not yet been determined, this remedy is an interim measure. A new notification will be filed if necessary once the cause is identified.

状況
平成２１年１１月１２日付け届出番号２４１２のリコール作業にて使用する、対策品のエンジンオイルクーラーホースにおいて、ホースの抜け圧力が低いものがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、当該オイルクーラーホース接続部よりホースが抜け、最悪の場合、漏れたオイルが排気管にかかり、火災に至るおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、オイルクーラーホースとホースクランプを対策品に交換するとともに、新たにねじ式のクランプを追加する。 なお、不具合の発生原因が判明していないため、上記対策を暫定対策とし、原因判明後、必要があれば新たに届出をおこなう。
