Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1125790 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | July 29, 2010 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Subaru |
| Component | Manual transmission |
| Production period | March 26, 2010 — June 19, 2010 |
| Vehicles affected | 97 units |
Defect
On manual transmission transfer cases, an incorrect machining program used during the manufacturing process results in certain units being produced without the oil lubrication passages machined into them. Continued use causes inadequate oil lubrication, which damages gears and related components and, in the worst case, may render the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
Machine the oil lubrication circuit on all vehicles. On vehicles with more than 10,000 km of accumulated mileage, also replace the internal components of the manual transmission.

状況
手動変速機のトランスファケースにおいて、製造工程の加工プログラムが不適切なため、オイル潤滑穴が加工されていないものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、オイル潤滑不良によってギヤ等が破損し、最悪の場合、走行不能になるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、オイル潤滑回路加工を行う。尚、走行距離が１０，０００ｋｍを超えている場合は、手動変速機の内部部品を交換する。
