Overview
| MLIT filing number | 2105582 |
|---|---|
| Type | Improvement Campaign (manufacturer improvement measure / 改善対策) |
| Date filed | November 15, 2018 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Honda |
| Component | Other (Body/Frame) |
| Production period | September 21, 2009 — September 20, 2018 |
| Vehicles affected | 186,108 units |
Issue
On the tailgate open stay, either the mounting structure between the lower ball joint and the body-side ball stud is improperly designed, or the upper ball joint and body-side ball stud were improperly assembled during production. As a result, the clip securing the ball joint to the body-side ball stud may not seat fully. Continued use with repeated tailgate opening and closing may cause the ball joint to separate from the body, resulting in the tailgate dropping suddenly.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, add a retention cover to the ball joint of the tailgate open stay to prevent separation.
