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.

状況

テールゲートオープンステーにおいて、下側ボールジョイントと車体側ボールスタッドの取付部構造が不適切、または、上側ボールジョイントと車体側ボールスタッドの組付け作業が不適切なため、ボールジョイントと車体側ボールスタッドを固定するクリップが浮くものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、テールゲート開閉の繰返しにより、ボールジョイントが車体から外れ、テールゲートが突然降下するおそれがある。

改善措置

全車両、テールゲートオープンステーのボールジョイントに外れ防止カバーを追加する。
