Hazard

Defective hardened valve clearance adjustment screws have been included in the intake and exhaust valves of the engine. The contact surface with the pushrod experiences premature wear. If operation continues in this condition, valve opening becomes insufficient, preventing normal combustion and risking exhaust emissions exceeding regulatory limits.

原動機の吸排気バルブのバルブクリアランス調整ネジにおいて、焼き入れ不良品が混入したため、プッシュロッドとの接触面が早期に磨耗するものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、バルブの開度が不足して正常な燃焼ができず、排出ガスの排出量が基準値を超えるおそれがある。

Remedy

Replace valve clearance adjustment screws with conforming parts on all vehicles.
