Hazard

The cooling water hose of the fluid-type auxiliary braking device mounted on the transmission has insufficient durability. Cracks develop due to vibration during operation, and in some cases the hose becomes detached. If operation continues in this condition, engine coolant will leak in large quantities, and in the worst case, engine seizure may occur, resulting in loss of driving ability.

変速機に装着されている流体式補助制動装置の冷却水ホースの耐久性が不足しているため、走行時の振動等により亀裂が発生し、また、ホースが抜けるものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、エンジン冷却水が大量に流出し、最悪の場合、エンジンが焼付き、走行不能となるおそれがある。

Remedy

Replace the cooling water hose with a corrective part on all vehicles. Additionally, for some vehicles where the oil cooler installation location differs, replace the peripheral components connected to the hose as a complete set with corrective parts.
