| MLIT filing number | 1146870 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | March 12, 2020 |

| Component | Steering |
| Production period | February 18, 2019 — July 26, 2019 |
| Vehicles affected | 46,845 units |
Defect
The steering wheel was improperly attached to the steering column during assembly. Steering inputs while driving may cause the mounting nut to loosen, producing play at the spline fitting. If the vehicle continues to be driven in this condition, the play increases. In the worst case, the fitting may disengage completely, resulting in loss of steering control.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, the steering wheel mounting condition will be inspected and the mounting nut tightened to the specified torque. Where abnormal mounting conditions are found, the steering wheel will be correctly reinstalled.

状況
ステアリングホイールにおいて、ステアリングコラムとの取付け作業が不適切なため、走行中の操舵等の入力により、取付けナットが緩み、嵌合部にガタが発生するものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、ガタが大きくなり、最悪の場合、当該嵌合部が外れ、ハンドル操作ができなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、ステアリングホイールの取付け状態を点検し、取付けナットを規定トルクで締付ける。なお、取付け状態に異常が認められる場合は、ステアリングホイールを正しく取付ける。
