Hazard

The air piping (nylon tubing) for the parking brake (wheel parking brake) on the rear axle is routed improperly. In severe cold conditions, snow adhering to the piping freezes into ice blocks, which can impose significant loads on the nylon tubing. As a result, the tubing may fracture and cause air leakage, potentially causing the parking brake to engage during operation, and in the worst case, rear wheels may lock. (Note: This recall was previously reported under Recall Notice No. 994 dated October 30, 2003; however, the countermeasures for the rear axle were insufficient and defects were found. This re-addresses only the affected axle.)

後前軸の駐車ブレーキ(ホイールパーキングブレーキ)用エア配管(ナイロンチューブ)の取り回しが不適切なため、厳寒時、配管等に付着した雪が凍結して氷塊となり、ナイロンチューブに大きな荷重がかかることがある。そのため、ナイロンチューブが折損してエアが漏れ、走行中に駐車ブレーキが作動し、最悪の場合、後輪がロックするおそれがある。 (備考)本届出は平成15年10月30日付け「届出番号994」でリコール届出したものですが、後前軸の対策が不十分であり不具合があったため、当該軸のみ再対策を行うものである。

Remedy

All vehicles: Replace the affected nylon tubing with corrective parts and reposition the routing to the appropriate location.
