For scale, 1,735 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 2 years and 3 months.
Defect
In the engine timing chain, the pins connecting the chain plates lack sufficient durability, causing the surface treatment on the pins to wear. Continued use allows the pin insertion holes in the plates to wear, elongating the overall timing chain length. The elongated chain interferes with the chain guide, producing abnormal noise. In the worst case, the timing chain may fracture, causing the engine to stall.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, the timing chain, chain guide, and crank sprocket will be replaced with corrected parts.

状況
エンジンのタイミングチェーンにおいて、プレートを連結するピンの耐久性が不足しているため、表面処理が摩耗するものがある。そのまま使用を続けると、プレートのピン挿入穴が摩耗してタイミングチェーン全長が伸び、チェーンガイドと干渉して異音が発生し、最悪の場合、タイミングチェーンが破損してエンストに至るおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、当該タイミングチェーン、チェーンガイドおよびクランクスプロケットを対策品と交換する。
