Filing in context
The Main Pedal / Lever is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 6 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 13 Mazda notifications from 2022 in this archive. For scale, 4,719 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 3 months.
Issue
On welfare vehicles equipped with a manual driving device, the nut securing the lock mechanism that holds the lever brake in position was not tightened to the specified torque during assembly, causing it to loosen over time. Continued use may make it increasingly difficult to engage the lever brake lock and, in the worst case, the nut may disengage entirely, rendering the lock inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, the tightening bolt is replaced with a corrected part and torqued to the specified value.

状況
福祉車両（手動運転装置付車）のレバーブレーキにおいて、ブレーキを保持するためのロック機構を固定するナットの締め付けが不適切なため、緩むことがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けた場合、レバーブレーキをロックしにくくなり、最悪の場合、ナットが外れてロックできなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、締め付けボルトを対策品に交換し、正規トルクで締め付ける。
