Defect
On large transit buses, the ball joint on the clutch booster has insufficient durability. Repeated clutch operation causes wear in the ball joint case. As the case wall thickness decreases and structural strength is reduced, the ball joint may fracture. In the worst case, the clutch becomes inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, the clutch booster ball joint is inspected. Vehicles found to have a defective part have it replaced with a corrected part.

状況
大型路線バスにおいて、クラッチブースタのボールジョイントの耐久性が不足しているため、クラッチ操作の繰り返しによりボールジョイントケース部に磨耗が発生するものがある。そのままの状態で使用を続けると、ケースの肉厚が減少して強度が低下することにより当該ボールジョイントが破損し、最悪の場合、クラッチ操作不能となるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、クラッチブースタのボールジョイントを確認し、不具合品が使用されている車両については対策品と交換する。
