RJ-1447-0

The antivibration rubber part of the engine rear mount does not have sufficient strength, and therefore, repeated engine vibration while starting and accelerating can cause the rubber to crack and break. If this problem is left unattended, the engine front mount may be damaged, too, and in the worst case, the engine side supporting part of the gear shifting unit could come off, making a gear shifting operation impossible. Note: This problem was reported in RJ-1238-0, submitted on 29th September 2004, but the vehicles to be recalled were not correctly accounted for, so this recall is to add some vehicles to the recall list.
