| MLIT filing number | 1212950 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | March 16, 2006 |

| Production period | December 2004 — January 20, 2006 |
| Vehicles affected | 15,993 units |
Defect
The end piece of the speedometer cable, which connects to the speedometer gearbox, was improperly molded, causing play at the end piece mounting. Continued use allows driving vibration to loosen the end piece retaining screw. In the worst case, the tip of the speedometer gearbox pinion fractures, causing the speedometer to stop functioning.
Corrective action
All vehicles: replace the speedometer cable with a conforming unit. Additionally, inspect the clearance at the joint between the speedometer cable end piece and the speedometer gearbox; if clearance is present, replace the speedometer gearbox with a new unit.

状況
スピードメータギヤボックスへ組付けるスピードメータケーブルのエンドピースの成形が不適切なため、エンドピース取付部にガタが生じることがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、走行中の振動等によりエンドピース固定ネジが緩み、最悪の場合、スピードメータギヤボックスのピニオン先端部が折損し、速度計が作動しなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、スピードメータケーブルを良品と交換する。また、スピードメータケーブルのエンドピースとスピードメータギヤボックスとの組付け部隙間を点検し、隙間のあるものはスピードメータギヤボックスを新品と交換する。
