Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1151900 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | July 28, 2022 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Suzuki |
| Component | Heater Unit (Manual Air Conditioning) |
| Production period | March 21, 2022 — May 31, 2022 |
| Vehicles affected | 9,011 units |
Defect
The manual air conditioning heater unit uses an improperly designed airflow outlet switching mechanism. Rapidly operating the outlet selector dial under high-temperature conditions can cause internal components to disengage, rendering the dial inoperable. As a result, the defroster becomes unavailable and the driver may be unable to maintain a clear view through the windshield.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, a bracket is added to the heater unit to prevent internal components from disengaging. The airflow outlet switching cable is also inspected; any cable found to be bent is replaced with a new part.

状況
マニュアルエアコンのヒータユニットにおいて、吹出し口切替え機構の構造が不適切なため、高温条件下で吹出し口切替えダイヤルを素早く操作すると、内部部品が外れ、操作不能になる場合がある。そのため、デフロスタが使用できず、前面ガラスの視野を確保できなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、ヒータユニットに内部部品の外れ防止用ブラケットを追加する。また、吹出し口切替えケーブルを点検し、曲がりのあるものは当該ケーブルを新品に交換する。
