Defect

On the rear wheel brake calipers, the boot seal structure is improper, allowing water to enter the caliper interior and causing rust and corrosion to develop on the shaft. Continued use degrades shaft sliding performance and reduces parking brake braking force. In the worst case, the vehicle may begin to roll.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, inspect the brake caliper shaft. Units with rust present must have the brake caliper replaced with the corrected/revised part. Units without rust must have the boot kit replaced with the corrected/revised part. Because preparation of replacement parts requires time, owners will be notified of the defect and advised to exercise caution; inspections will be carried out beginning with manual transmission vehicles.

状況

後輪のブレーキキャリパにおいて、ブーツのシール構造が不適切なため、キャリパ内部に水が浸入し、シャフトに錆が発生し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、シャフトの摺動性が悪化し、駐車ブレーキの制動力が低下し、最悪の場合、車両が動き出すおそれがある。

改善措置

全車両、ブレーキキャリパのシャフトを点検し、錆が発生しているものはブレーキキャリパを対策品と交換する。錆が発生していないものは、対策品のブーツキットと交換する。なお、交換部品の準備に時間を要することから、使用者に対して不具合内容を通知し、注意喚起の上、マニュアルトランスミッション車から順次点検を実施する。
