The frame end brackets (rear suspension supports) for the radius rods securing the rear axle have neither appropriate waterproofing structure nor proper rust proofing, and therefore they may rust when snow melting agent etc. is deposited inside. If this problem is left unattended, rust may progress and cause the brackets to crack, and in the worst case, the brackets could break and fall off with the radius rods, which could adversely affect the vehicle's stability.
Case Number:
RJ-1382-0
Make/model:
Issued:
Mon, 2005-02-28
Component:
frame end brackets (rear suspension supports)
Affected:
9 629
Correction:
The frame end brackets (rear suspension supports) should be replaced with the factory approved replacement units. Incidentally, it will take time to supply all the factory approved replacement units, and therefore as a temporary measure, the brackets should be inspected, and the ones that satisfy the specified standards should be replaced at a later date.
Identification:
sticker ('HB-10' is written) on the back of the inspection lid located at the left rear of the vehicle body, blue one for the temporary measure, white/yellow one for the permanent countermeasure
