Defect
In the engine, an incorrect rust inhibitor was applied to the sealing bolt that prevents rotation of the rocker arm shaft. Engine heat reduces the bolt's clamping torque, causing the bolt to loosen and fall out. Continued use in this condition allows engine oil to leak. In the worst case, the rocker arm shaft may be ejected, causing the engine to stall while driving with no possibility of restart.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the sealing bolt with a conforming part.

状況
原動機において、ロッカーアームシャフトの回転を抑止するシーリングボルトに誤った防錆剤を塗布したため、エンジンの熱により締め付けトルクが低下して、当該ボルトが緩み脱落するものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けるとエンジンオイルが漏れ、最悪の場合、ロッカーアームシャフトが抜けて、走行中にエンジンが停止し再始動できなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、シーリングボルトを良品に交換する。
