Hazard
The casting process of the transfer case, which is a recall remedy component, was conducted improperly, resulting in core sand remaining in the oil holes within the transfer case. Some oil holes are not fully drilled through, or are undersized. Continued use in this condition may cause inadequate internal lubrication of the transfer case, leading to outer bearing seizure and, in the worst case, loss of vehicle mobility. (Note: This recall was initially reported under notification number 1261 dated October 13, 2004; however, defects were identified in some of the remedy parts, necessitating corrective action.)

リコール対策品である変向機の鋳造工程が不適切なため、変向機ケース内の油穴に中子砂が残り、一部が未貫通のもの、又は油穴が小さいものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、変向機内部のオイル潤滑不良によりアウターベアリングが焼き付き、最悪の場合、走行不能となるおそれがある。 （備考）本届出は平成１６年１０月１３日付け「届出番号１２６１」でリコール届出したものですが、一部の対策措置部品に不具合があったため、再度対策を行うものである。
Remedy
Replace the complete transfer case assembly with a serviceable component on all vehicles.
