Hazard

In vehicles equipped with rear-axle 4-bag air spring dampers, incorrect parts were installed in the air springs, resulting in insufficient clearance between the air spring diaphragm and stabilizer bracket, causing interference in some cases. Continued operation in this condition may result in diaphragm rupture and air leakage, illuminating the air suspension warning light, vehicle listing, and degraded driving stability.

②後軸4バッグ式空気ばね緩衝装置付車両において、空気ばねに誤品を組付けたため、空気ばねのダイヤフラムとスタビライザブラケットの隙間が少なく、干渉するものがある。 そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、ダイヤフラムが破損、エアが漏れてエアサスペンションの警告灯が点灯し、車両が傾斜して走行安定性が損なわれるおそれがある。

Remedy

Inspect air springs on all vehicles. Replace with genuine new parts if incorrect components are found to be installed.
