Hazard

In the hydraulic clutch system, some pistons have seal scratches present from manufacturing. During use, these scratches expand gradually, causing hydraulic fluid to leak. This prevents maintaining adequate hydraulic pressure to disengage the clutch. If the vehicle is stopped with the gear engaged, there is a risk that the vehicle may creep forward slowly and overturn.

油圧式クラッチにおいて、ピストン製造時にシールに傷が入っているものがある。そのため、使用過程で傷が拡大して徐々に油圧が抜け、クラッチを切るための油圧を保持できなくなり、ギアを入れたまま停止すると、最悪の場合、車両がゆっくり動き出し、転倒するおそれがある。

Remedy

Replace the piston with a corrective part on all vehicles.
