Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1138770 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | September 1, 2016 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Mazda, Nissan |
| Component | Other (Body Structure) |
| Production period | December 12, 2007 — December 26, 2015 |
| Vehicles affected | 394,941 units |
Defect
On the gas-charged damper stays of the rear gate, the paint applied to the outer tube's end cap is improper, allowing corrosion to develop under the influence of salt air in salt-damage areas. Continued use allows the corrosion to progress, causing the outer tube to swell and the end cap to crack. When the rear gate is opened, the outer tube may burst and, in the worst case, injure bystanders.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the damper stay with a corrected part. Because replacement parts require time to prepare, older model years will be prioritized for replacement. For vehicles produced in 2010 or earlier, inspect the damper stay; if a crack is found in the end cap, disable use of the rear gate as an interim measure.

状況
リヤゲートのガス封入式ダンパーステーにおいて、外筒のエンドキャップ部の塗装が不適切なため、塩害地域の塩分の影響で腐食することがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、腐食が進行し、外筒が膨らみ、エンドキャップが割れ、リヤゲートを開く際に外筒が破裂し、最悪の場合、周囲の人が負傷するおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、当該ダンパーステーを対策品と交換する。なお、交換部品の準備に時間を要することから、年式の古いものから対策品と順次交換する。ただし、２０１０年以前の生産車については、当該ダンパーステーを点検し、エンドキャップに亀裂が確認された場合は、暫定措置としてリヤゲートを使用できないようにする。
