Defect

In the propeller shaft yoke joint, the crimp force used to retain the bearing and the shape of the housing that holds the bearing are both improper. Heat generated by friction during driving, combined with high load, causes wear inside the bearing. Continued use may result in failure of the yoke joint. In the worst case, the vehicle may become inoperable, or the propeller shaft may contact the swing arm and lock the rear wheel.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, replace the propeller shaft with a corrected part. Because supply of the corrected part requires time, as an interim measure, inspect the propeller shaft on all vehicles; any unit found to have a malfunctioning yoke joint must be replaced with a new propeller shaft immediately.

状況

プロペラシャフトのヨークジョイント部において、ベアリング抜け防止のかしめ圧及びベアリングを保持するハウジングの形状が不適切なため、走行時の摩擦による熱や高い負荷によりベアリング内部が摩耗するものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、ヨークジョイント部が破損して、最悪の場合、走行不能となったり、プロペラシャフトがスイングアームと干渉し、リヤホイールがロックするおそれがある。

改善措置

全車両、プロペラシャフトを対策品に交換する。ただし、対策品の供給に時間を要することから、当面の暫定措置として、全車両、プロペラシャフトを点検し、ヨークジョイント部の作動不良が確認されたものについては、プロペラシャフトを新品に交換する。
