Filing in context
The Other (engine) is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 19 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 7 Daihatsu notifications from 2013 in this archive. For scale, 83 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 3 years and 5 months.
Defect
The internal coil of the engine crankshaft position sensor lacks sufficient durability at high temperatures. When the engine compartment reaches elevated temperatures — such as during hill climbing or traffic congestion — and the engine is then repeatedly operated at high rpm, such as during full-throttle driving, vibration may cause the internal coil wire to break. This may cause the engine to stall while driving or prevent the engine from starting.
Corrective action
(2)-1: Replace the crankshaft position sensor on all vehicles with the corrected part. Because parts supply will take time, the following interim measure applies until the corrected sensor can be installed: reprogram the engine control software to reduce the maximum engine speed limit. Once the corrected sensor is installed, reprogram the engine control software to restore the original specification. (2)-2: For vehicles on which the interim measure is not practicable, replace the crankshaft position sensor directly with the corrected part on all such vehicles.

状況
エンジンのクランク角センサにおいて、内部コイルの高温時の耐久性が不足しているため、登坂や渋滞等によってエンジンルーム内が高温になった状態で、全開走行等のエンジン回転数が高い運転を繰返すと、振動で内部コイルが断線し、走行中にエンジンが停止する、あるいは、エンジンが始動できなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
（２）－１全車両、クランク角センサを対策品と交換する。但し、部品の準備に時間を要することから、部品が供給出来るまでの暫定措置として、エンジン制御プログラムをエンジン最高回転数を下げる仕様に書き換え、後日クランク角センサを対策品と交換し、エンジン制御プログラムを元の仕様に書き換える。（２）－２暫定措置が困難な車両については、全車両、クランク角センサを対策品と交換する。
