Due to improper design of the engine belt drive system, the V-belt may experience premature wear. Continued operation in this condition risks belt failure, causing the alternator and water pump to stop, …
In the heater shutoff valve that controls coolant flow to the heater, improper internal valve design causes coolant leakage within the valve. The leaked coolant vaporizes and condenses on the electronic circuit …
Depending on steering wheel and seat position, the driver's knee may contact the ignition key during operation, causing the key to move from the RUN position. This cuts vehicle power, stopping the …
Driver-side airbag units may have improperly manufactured internal connectors with inadequate engagement. This can cause the airbag warning light to illuminate and prevent airbag deployment during a collision.
In the steering system, the pinion bolt of the intermediate shaft may be improperly tightened. In the worst case, this bolt may come loose, potentially compromising steering operation.
Improper welding of the passenger airbag bracket may cause the weld to separate. Continued use can apply excessive force to the vehicle body attachment point of the bracket, potentially causing damage to …
Due to improper manufacturing of the automatic transmission case, cracks may develop in the case. If continued use is made in this condition, cracks will propagate, and in the worst case, the …
The control computer program of the drive motor inverter is inappropriate, which may cause the computer to misinterpret a communication error when receiving signals such as automatic transmission gear position. As a …
Due to improper programming in the engine control computer, when an abnormal signal from the throttle position sensor is detected, fail-safe control fixes the throttle opening. However, if the throttle position sensor …
The fresh air intake structure of the air conditioning system is inadequate, allowing rainwater to enter the blower fan motor section. This causes corrosion and seizing of the motor bearing, resulting in …
The spark plug cap material is inappropriate, causing the area around the plug cap to reach high temperatures during low-speed operation and similar conditions. When moisture accumulates around the plug cap, current …
The instrument panel material is inadequate. In the event of an accident, an unbelted front passenger may sustain injury if their head strikes the instrument panel.
On trucks equipped with wing bodies, the hydraulic hose routing for opening and closing the cargo bed wing is improper, causing the hydraulic hose to contact the wing body frame during wing …
In rotary snow removal vehicles equipped with heated windshield glass, the electrical connector for the heated glass wiring has insufficient electrical capacity, which may cause electrical contacts to generate heat. Continued use …
In the fuel pump of light-duty trucks, cracks may develop in the resin component due to ultraviolet degradation during use and residual stress from manufacturing. Continued operation in this condition could allow …
In mechanical automatic transmissions installed on small trucks and buses, the transmission oil cooler hose has insufficient strength. Pressure fluctuations within the hose can cause internal cracks to develop. Continued use in …
Due to improper programming in the engine control unit, catalyst degradation diagnostics may not be performed correctly. As a result, the warning light may not illuminate even if the catalyst degrades.
During assembly of the brake light switch, work gloves contaminated with insulating lubricant oil caused trace amounts of lubricant to enter the switch contact surfaces, resulting in the formation of insulating deposits. …
Due to improper assembly procedures in the switch sleeve component of the brake booster's brake assist mechanism, cracks may develop in the affected part. When the brake assist mechanism activates, the switch …
The accessory drive belt material is inappropriate, causing the resin pulley to wear in a slanted manner in some cases. Continued use may result in belt damage and detachment, illumination of the …
The passenger-seat airbag inflator may allow moisture ingress when exposed to high-temperature, high-humidity environments for prolonged periods. This can cause abnormal pressure rise in the inflator during airbag deployment, resulting in inflator …
In the fuel system of diesel vehicles, the fuel filter attached to the engine has insufficient structural strength. Frequent engine starting and stopping causes fuel pressure fluctuations that may crack the fuel …
In the power transmission system, the bolts securing the center bearing bracket to the frame are subject to improper fastening torque and installation procedure. Due to vibration during operation, these bolts may …
In the fuel system of diesel vehicles, the fuel filter attached to the engine has insufficient structural strength. Frequent engine start-stop cycles cause fuel pressure fluctuations that can crack the filter case. …
The passenger seat airbag inflator, when exposed to prolonged high-temperature and high-humidity environments, may allow moisture ingress. This can cause abnormal pressure buildup within the inflator upon airbag deployment, resulting in inflator …
During the manufacturing process of the rear wheel brake upper spring, the fixture geometry was inappropriate, causing scratches on some springs. Continued use of affected springs may result in fracture of the …
In starter motors of vehicles without idle stop function, insufficient interference fit between the motor coil and shaft may cause the motor coil to shift during starting input. Continued use can result …
The headlight electrical wiring routing is improper, causing the wiring to flex when the handlebars are moved left and right. Continued use in this condition may result in the wiring breaking due …
In the engine of a rotary snow removal vehicle, the blade design of the radiator cooling fan is inadequate, which may cause the fan to resonate. If the vehicle is operated in …
In rotary snow removal vehicle engines, the piping connected to the engine oil filter may have manufacturing defects causing internal cracks. Continued use in this condition may allow cracks to propagate, resulting …
