|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | February 23, 2017 |

| Production period | February 13, 2012 — February 2017 |
| Vehicles affected | 60,617 units |
Defect
In the diesel engine, the injector mounting nuts are insufficiently torqued, which may reduce the contact pressure on the injector gasket. Combustion gas can then blow past the gasket into the cylinder head, carbonizing the engine oil. The carbonized oil clogs the oil strainer, causing oil pressure to drop and the warning light to illuminate. Continued operation leads to engine seizure and, in the worst case, engine stall.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, retorque the injector mounting nuts. Additionally, inspect oil pressure; if an abnormality is found, flush the engine interior and replace the oil strainer and engine oil.

状況
①ディーゼルエンジンにおいて、インジェクタ取付ナットの締結力が不適切なため、インジェクタガスケットの面圧が低下することがある。そのため、燃焼ガスがシリンダーヘッドに吹き抜け、エンジンオイルが炭化し、炭化したエンジンオイルがオイルストレーナを詰まらせ、油圧低下により警告灯が点灯し、そのまま使用を続けると、エンジンが焼き付き、最悪の場合、エンストに至るおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、インジェクタ取付ナットを増し締めする。また、油圧を点検し、油圧に異常が確認された場合は、エンジン内部を洗浄し、オイルストレーナとエンジンオイルを交換する。
