Defect
On diesel engine vehicles, the vacuum pump has insufficient wear resistance. Metal particles generated inside the engine may cause wear on the pump shaft, reducing vacuum generation capacity. If the brake pedal is depressed multiple times in rapid succession at low engine speeds, brake assist force may temporarily decrease.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the vacuum pump with the corrected part.

状況
ディーゼルエンジン車のバキュームポンプにおいて、耐摩耗性が不十分なため、エンジン内部で発生する金属粉でポンプ軸が摩耗することがある。そのため、負圧生成能力が低下し、エンジン低回転時にブレーキペダルを短時間に複数回踏むと、一時的にブレーキアシスト力が低下するおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、バキュームポンプを対策品に交換する。
