Defect
On the front suspension coil springs, insufficient adhesion between the paint coating and the spring steel causes the coating to peel when sand or small stones become trapped against the spring surface, allowing corrosion to advance at an accelerated rate. Continued use may cause the coil spring to fracture. In the worst case, the fractured spring may contact the tire, causing a puncture and rendering the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the front coil spring with a corrected part.

状況
フロントサスペンションにおいて、コイルスプリングの鋼材に対する塗料の密着性が不足しているため、砂や小石を噛み込んだ場合に、塗膜が剥がれやすく、腐食が早期に進行するものがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、コイルスプリングが折損し、最悪の場合、タイヤと接触することでパンクして走行不能となるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、フロントコイルスプリングを対策品に交換する。
