Defect

On large all-wheel-drive vehicles, the stud bolts securing the fan hub to the radiator cooling fan are improperly torqued during assembly. This causes cracks to form at the stud bolt insertion points in the hub, allowing the bolts to loosen. The cooling fan then develops rotational runout, imposing excessive load on the water pump housing at the hub mounting point. If the water pump housing fractures, the cooling fan assembly can detach and fall toward the radiator. In the worst case, the radiator core is damaged and coolant leaks, rendering the vehicle inoperable, or fragments of the water pump housing fall onto the road.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, replace the fan hub and stud bolts with new parts and torque the bolts to the specified value.

状況

大型総輪駆動車の冷却装置において、ラジエータ冷却ファンと締結するファンハブに取付けたスタッドボルトの締付け方法が不適切なため、当該ハブのスタッドボルト挿入部に亀裂が発生し緩むものがある。そのため、冷却ファンが回転振れし当該ハブ固定部のウォーターポンプハウジングに負荷が掛かりウォーターポンプハウジングが破断すると、冷却ファンと一体でラジエータ側へ脱落して、最悪の場合、ラジエータコアが損傷し冷却水漏れにより走行不能、または、ウォーターポンプハウジングの一部破片が路上に落下するおそれがある。

改善措置

全車両、ファンハブとスタッドボルトを新品と交換し、当該ボルトを規定トルクで締付ける。
