Hazard

In the hydraulic circuit of the steering system, when the hydraulic fluid filter contamination exceeds acceptable limits and the warning light is illuminated, and an overdue low-pressure hose past its service interval is used, the low-pressure hose deterioration progresses. Consequently, if use continues in this condition, cracks may develop in the low-pressure hose, causing hydraulic fluid leakage, which may impede the safety of other road users.

かじ取装置等の油圧回路において、作動油フィルタの汚れが許容範囲を超え警告灯が点灯した状態で、かつ、定期交換時期を過ぎた低圧ホースを使用すると、低圧ホース劣化が進行する。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、低圧ホースに亀裂が生じて作動油が流出し、他の交通の安全を妨げるおそれがある。

Remedy

Replace the low-pressure hose with a corrective component on all vehicles. Additionally, explain to customers the importance of maintenance (periodic replacement).
