Defect
A programming error in the air leak inspection system for the generator and drive front motor allowed units that failed inspection to be released to market. The defect causes oil to leak internally, leading to inadequate lubrication of the bearings in the drive front motor and subsequent bearing damage. In the worst case, the vehicle enters a fail-safe state in which power generation is disabled, output is restricted, and maximum speed is limited to 50 km/h, and the vehicle may become unable to restart.
Corrective action
Replace the drive front motor on all vehicles with a conforming unit.
