Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1128662 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | December 8, 2011 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Isuzu, Nissan |
| Component | Engine Control Computer |
| Production period | August 23, 2008 — March 10, 2011 |
| Vehicles affected | 2,041 units |
Defect
In vehicles equipped with a DPF (diesel particulate filter), the engine control computer sets an incorrect idle speed during cabin heating operation, causing black smoke and excessive PM (particulate matter) accumulation in the filter. This causes the engine to run poorly and, in the worst case, may result in a stall from which the engine cannot be restarted.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, the engine control computer software is reprogrammed and the engine oil is replaced with new oil.

状況
ＤＰＦ（ディーゼル粒子状物質除去装置）付き車の原動機制御コンピュータにおいて、暖房促進時のアイドル回転数が不適切なため、黒煙が発生してＰＭ（粒子状物質）が多量に堆積するものがある。そのため、エンジンが不調となり、最悪の場合、エンストして再始動できなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、当該制御コンピュータのプログラムを修正するとともに、エンジンオイルを新品に交換する。
