Filing in context
The Shock Absorber is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 11 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 19 Honda notifications from 2010 in this archive. For scale, 1,884 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 1 year and 11 months.
Issue
The bolts securing the rear suspension to the frame are insufficiently torqued. Repeatedly lifting and moving the cargo bed while the vehicle is parked causes these bolts to loosen and, under driving vibration, fall out. If the cargo bed is then lifted in this condition, the upper suspension mounting point separates from the frame attachment, and the top of the suspension may strike and damage the fuel pump, causing a fuel leak.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the rear suspension upper mounting bolts with new parts and tighten them to the newly specified torque value.

状況
リヤサスペンションをフレームに固定しているボルトの締付けトルクが不足しているため、駐車時に車両の荷台を持ち上げて移動させる動作を繰返すと、当該ボルトに弛みが生じ、走行振動によりボルトが脱落するものがある。そのため、その状態で荷台を持ち上げるとリヤサスペンションの上側締結部が車体取付け部から外れ、サスペンションの上端が燃料ポンプを破損させて燃料が漏れるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、リヤサスペンション上側締結ボルトを新品と交換し、新たに規定した締付けトルクで締付ける。
