Defect
An improper bearing assembly jig used during drive motor production damaged the oil seal O-ring on some units at the time of assembly. In service, cooling oil leaks from the affected area into the drive motor, causing insulation resistance to drop. In the worst case, drive motor output may shut down, leaving the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the drive motor with a conforming part. On 4WD vehicles, replace the rear drive motor.

状況
駆動モータにおいて、ベアリング組付治具が不適切であったため、組付時にオイルシール用Ｏリングが損傷したものがある。そのため、使用過程で当該部位から駆動モータ内の冷却用オイルが漏れ、絶縁抵抗が低下し、最悪の場合、駆動モータの出力が停止して走行不能に至るおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、駆動モータを良品と交換する。（４ＷＤ車については後輪用駆動モータを交換する。）
