Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1124600 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | February 2, 2010 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Nissan |
| Component | Engine |
| Production period | November 22, 2005 — June 2007 |
| Vehicles affected | 1,216 units |
Defect
The flange of the fixed shaft on the camshaft-drive head idler gear in the engine has insufficient strength. Use of degraded engine oil or similar conditions accelerates bush wear, causing play to develop between the bush and the fixed shaft. Continued operation allows excessive stress to concentrate at the base of the flange, which may fracture and cause the gear to interfere with surrounding components. In the worst case, the gear disengages, the engine stalls, and the vehicle cannot be restarted.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the fixed shaft with a corrected part having an increased flange thickness, and replace the complete idler gear assembly with a new unit.

状況
原動機のカムシャフト駆動用ヘッドアイドラギヤの固定シャフトつば部の強度に余裕がないため、劣化したエンジンオイルの使用等により、ブッシュの摩耗が早まりブッシュと固定シャフトの間にガタが生じる場合がある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、シャフトつば部の付け根に過大な応力が発生することがあり、つば部が破損してギヤが周辺部品と干渉し、最悪の場合、当該ギヤの噛み合いが外れて、エンジンが停止し再始動不能となるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、固定シャフトのつば部厚さを増大した対策品に交換し、アイドラギヤ一式を新品と交換する。
