Defect

On high-center-of-gravity vehicles, the stabilizer arm on the rear axle air suspension has insufficient strength. Repeated lateral rolling causes the arm to develop a crack. Continued operation allows the crack to progress and, in the worst case, the arm may fracture, resulting in unstable vehicle handling.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, add a new stabilizer to the rear axle and replace the existing stabilizer with a new part.

状況

重心が高い車両において、後軸エアサスペンションのスタビライザのアームの強度が不足しているため、ローリングを繰り返すと、当該アームに亀裂が発生する場合がある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、最悪の場合、当該アームが折損し、走行が不安定になるおそれがある。

改善措置

全車両、あらたに後軸にスタビライザを追加するとともに、既存のスタビライザを新品に交換する。
