Defect
On vehicles equipped with an automated mechanical transmission (AGS), incorrect assembly instructions for the clutch cable anchor allow the anchor slot and the release fork slot to align, concentrating stress at the clamp section of the clutch cable. Repeated gear changes can cause the clutch cable to fracture, illuminating a warning light and leaving the vehicle unable to shift gears or move.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the clutch cable anchor. (1) If the clutch cable anchor slot and the release fork slot are aligned, replace the AGS actuator with a new unit and replace the clutch cable anchor with the corrected part. (2) If the slots are not aligned, replace the clutch cable anchor with the corrected part.

状況
機械式自動変速機（ＡＧＳ）のクラッチケーブルアンカの組付指示が不適切なため、当該アンカとレリーズフォークのスリットが一致し、クラッチケーブルのクランプ部に応力が集中するものある。そのため、変速が繰り返し行われると、クラッチケーブルが破断して、警告灯が点灯するとともに、変速不能及び走行不能となるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、クラッチケーブルアンカを点検し、 （１）クラッチケーブルアンカとレリーズフォークのスリット方向が一致している場合は、ＡＧＳアクチュエータを新品に交換、クラッチケーブルアンカを対策品に交換する。 （２）一致していない場合は、クラッチケーブルアンカを対策品に交換する。
