Overview

MLIT filing number1153790
TypeStatutory Recall (government-mandated recall)
Date filedSeptember 28, 2023
Manufacturer(s)Nissan, Suzuki
ComponentAlternator
Production periodNovember 24, 2010 — June 17, 2016
Vehicles affected48,360 units

Defect

On vehicles without an idling stop function, the grease sealed inside the one-way clutch mechanism of the alternator pulley has insufficient heat resistance. During service, the grease degrades from heat, causing the one-way clutch to wear and fracture. This produces abnormal noise and illuminates the charge warning light. Continued use may cause the pulley to spin freely, resulting in insufficient charging and engine stall. Additionally, if the freewheeling pulley reaches high temperature from frictional heat and separates from the shaft, it may fall into the engine compartment and contact flammable materials nearby. In the worst case, this may result in a vehicle fire.

Corrective action

Replace the alternator with a corrected part on all vehicles.

状況

アイドリングストップ機能無し車のオルタネータ(発電機)において、プーリーの内部機構(ワンウェイクラッチ)に封入されているグリスの耐熱性能が不足していたため、使用過程でグリスが熱劣化しプーリーのワンウェイクラッチが摩耗することで破損することがある。そのため、異音の発生や充電警告灯が点灯し、そのまま使用を続けるとプーリーが空転して発電不良となりエンジンが停止するおそれがある。また、空転したプーリーが摩擦熱により高温になった状態でシャフトから抜けて、エンジンルーム内に脱落し周辺部品の可燃物に接触すると、最悪の場合、火災に至るおそれがある。

改善措置

全車両、発電機を対策品に交換する。
