Issue
During manufacturing of the tailgate gas-filled springs, improper temperature control during the chrome plating process caused micro-cracks to form in the plated surface of the rod. Continued use allows the pressurized gas to leak through these micro-cracks, reducing the spring's counter-force. In the worst case, the tailgate can no longer be held in the open position.
Corrective action
On all affected vehicles, the lot number of the gas spring is verified. Units identified as affected are replaced with conforming parts.

状況
テールゲートのガス封入式スプリングにおいて、ロッドのメッキ処理時の温度管理が不適切なため、メッキ部分に微小亀裂が発生しているものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、封入されたガスがメッキの微小亀裂部分から漏れ、ガススプリングの反力が低下し、最悪の場合、テールゲートが保持できなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、当該ガススプリングのロット番号を確認し、対象のものは良品と交換する。
