Overview

MLIT filing number1124670
TypeStatutory Recall (government-mandated recall)
Date filedFebruary 25, 2010
Manufacturer(s)Mazda, Suzuki
Production periodAugust 2005 — October 29, 2009
Vehicles affected432,366 units

Defect

The fresh-air intake structure of the air conditioning system is improperly designed, allowing rainwater to enter the blower fan motor. This causes the motor bearings to rust and seize, stopping the blower fan and disabling the defroster. Additionally, on vehicles equipped with manual air conditioning, the fuse protecting the blower speed control resistor may fail to blow. In the worst case, this can result in a vehicle fire.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, add a cover to the fresh-air intake port and inspect the blower fan motor. If rust is found, replace the blower fan motor with a new unit. On vehicles with manual air conditioning where rust is present in the blower fan motor, also replace the blower speed control resistor with a corrected part.

状況

エアコンの外気導入口の構造が不適切なため、雨水がブロアファンモータ部に浸入し、当該モータの軸受けが錆びて固着するものがある。そのため、ブロアファンモータが停止してデフロスタが作動しなくなる。また、マニュアルエアコン仕様においては、ブロアファンの回転数を制御する抵抗のヒューズが溶断せず、最悪の場合、火災に至るおそれがある。

改善措置

全車両、外気導入口にカバーを追加するとともに、ブロアファンモータを点検し、錆が発生しているものはブロアファンモータを新品に交換する。また、マニュアルエアコン仕様は、ブロアファンモータに錆が発生しているものは、回転数を制御する抵抗を対策品に交換する。
