Hazard

In the automatic clearance adjustment mechanism (strut set) between the rear wheel brake shoes and drum, improper grease application during component assembly has resulted in some adjuster bolts lacking grease on their threaded surfaces. Continued use in this condition may cause the threaded surfaces to rust and seize, preventing the automatic adjustment mechanism from functioning.

後輪ブレーキのシューとドラムの隙間を自動で調整する機構(ストラットセット)において、部品組立時のグリス塗布作業が不適切なため、アジャスタボルトのネジ面にグリスが塗布されていないものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、ネジ面が錆びて固着し、自動調整機構が作動しなくなるおそれがある。

Remedy

Inspect the adjuster bolts on all vehicles. Replace the strut set with a new unit if the bolt is seized; if not seized, clean the threaded surface and apply grease.
