RJ-1329-0

The base of the rear hubs flanges may crack from repeated driving on a curvy road etc. due to the lack of strength. Also, such cracks may occur sooner on earlier models, if there is another cause such as defectively manufactured flanges base, resulting in localized stress. If left unfixed, the cracks can grow, and in the worst case, the cracked parts could be ruptured, causing the vehicle to stall. (This recall was submitted when it was found out that the past recall (case number RJ-1072-0, submitted on 15th April 2004) should have covered more models, after reexamining the strength of the rear hubs by a new strength test method and receiving certain information from users etc.)
