Suzuki Jimny 2018
Hazard
Improper assembly process control of the front differential has resulted in some vehicles being equipped with front differentials having incorrect gear ratios. This causes rotational speed differences between the front and rear wheels during four-wheel drive operation, resulting in degraded driving performance. In worst-case scenarios, drivetrain components may be damaged, potentially rendering the vehicle inoperable.

フロントデファレンシャルの組み付け作業管理が不適切なため、減速比の異なるフロントデファレンシャルを組み付けたものがある。そのため、四輪駆動走行時に前輪と後輪に回転差が生じて走行性能が低下し、最悪の場合、駆動系部品が損傷し、走行不能となるおそれがある。
Remedy
Replace the front differential with genuine parts on all affected vehicles.
