|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | November 21, 2012 |

| Vehicles affected | 2,120 units |
Defect
On the bus engine blow-by gas recirculation system, the diaphragm has insufficient durability and is mounted in an improper position. Extended use causes cracks to develop in the diaphragm, allowing engine oil to be drawn into the intake manifold through the blow-by gas passage. Oil then enters the engine combustion chamber, and in the worst case, internal engine damage may occur, rendering the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the blow-by gas recirculation system. Any unit with an improperly positioned mounting or incorrect diaphragm material must be replaced with the corrected part.

状況
バスのブローバイガス還元装置において、当該装置のダイヤフラムの耐久性が不足していること、並びに取付け位置が不適切なため、長期間の使用でダイヤフラムに亀裂が生じると、エンジンオイルがブローバイガスの通路を経由して吸気管に吸入されることがある。そのため、オイルがエンジン燃焼室に浸入し、最悪の場合、エンジン内部が損傷し、走行不能に至るおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、ブローバイガス還元装置を点検し、取付け位置及びダイヤフラム材質が不適切なものは、対策品に交換する。
