Filing in context
This notification is a joint filing by 2 manufacturers: Nissan & Nissan Diesel.
The Power Steering is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 43 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 38 Nissan notifications from 2005 in this archive. For scale, 4,592 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 11 months.
Issue
On fire trucks, the mounting hole position for the power steering pump on the flywheel housing is incorrect, resulting in insufficient backlash between the power steering pump gear and the meshing air compressor gear. This causes gear damage and abnormal noise. Continued operation can fracture the power steering pump shaft and, in the worst case, increase steering effort.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, the power steering pump assembly is replaced with a corrected part, and the air compressor gear and gear case are replaced.

状況
消防車において、エンジンのパワーステアリングポンプを取り付けるフライホイールハウジングの穴位置が不適切なため、パワーステアリングポンプギヤと当該ギヤに噛み合うエアコンプレッサギヤのバックラッシがないものがある。そのため、当該ギヤが損傷して異音が発生し、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、最悪の場合、パワーステアリングポンプシャフトが折損し、操舵力が増大するおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、パワーステアリングポンプ一式を対策品に交換するとともに、エアコンプレッサギヤ並びにギヤケースを交換する。
