AERO BUS

RJ-1870-0

The sun visor bracket on the driver's side is not properly welded, and therefore, the welded sections may come off. If this problem is left unattended, vibration during driving can cause the sun visor to sag, which could obstruct the driver's view.

RJ-1724-0

For the forward tilting passenger seat near the emergency exit, the pins to secure the seat do not have sufficient strength, and/or the tilt prevention fittings do not have sufficient depth due to poor installation, and/or the metal fittings do not have sufficient strength. As a result, when a passenger leans on the seat at sudden braking, the hinges may come off or the fittings may be distorted, and in the worst case, the seat could fall forward.

RJ-1520-0

For the inertia supercharging valve inside the intake coupler, which conveys air from the intercooler to the engine, the washer that supports the axis of that valve does not have an appropriate shape, and therefore the washer and the surfaces it contacts may wear due to engine vibration etc., and this may cause the valve axis to be unstable, in which case the valve may interfere with the intake coupler. If such interference is ignored, high stress may occur on the valve axis, which may break, and a broken piece might be sucked into the engine.

RJ-1494-0

The pipes of the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system do not have sufficient strength, and therefore they may crack from expansion and contraction due to exhaust heat or engine vibration. If this problem is left unattended, the cracks may grow causing the noise level to increase. In addition, there is a possibility that the fire alarm in the engine compartment may go off due to high temperature exhaust gas blown out from the cracks into the engine compartment.

KJ-0292-0

For the forward tilting passenger seat near the emergency exit, the anti-tilting fitting may not have sufficient strength for unexpected load caused in a collision or in sudden braking to avoid an accident. The fitting may deform in sudden braking, and in the worst case, it could fail to prevent the seat from falling forward.

RJ-1465-0

(1) The lower radius rods on the rear axle do not have sufficient strength, and therefore they may crack if the vehicle is repeatedly driven on a curvy road at a low speed, such as on a mountainous road. If the vehicle continues to be driven with such a cracked radius rod, the rod may break, which would adversely affect the stability of the vehicle. (2) The lower radius rods on the front axle do not have sufficient strength for unanticipated lengthy use, and therefore they may crack.

RJ-1458-0

On certain vehicles, the G-sensor in the air bag control unit may be the one for passenger vehicles (with a higher sensitivity) and be deployed by impact from road variances while driving.

RJ-1452-0

The temperature of the air coming out of the air compressor is too high, and therefore lubricant may carbonize and accumulate inside the air outlet pipe. If this problem is left unattended, the accumulated stuff inside the pipe may heat up, making a hole in the pipe, which would allow air to leak. If this occurs, in the worst case, it would result in reduced braking efficiency, or in the case of vehicles with finger control transmission (electrically controlled manual transmission, not mechanically controlled), it could make gear changes impossible.

RJ-1437-0

The exhaust pipe may crack from engine vibration because it is not secured in a proper way. If this problem is left unattended, it may occur that the noise level exceeds the regulatory value, or that the sheaths of the surrounding wires melt from exhaust gas heat causing a short circuit, in which case at worst the engine may fail to restart. This problem was reported in RJ-1276-0 submitted on 20th October 2004, but the vehicles to be recalled were not fully accounted for and the instructions were not sufficient.

RJ-1333-0

For the ASR (Anti Spin Regulator) valve unit, which is to prevent the driving wheels from spinning, the material and the size of the valve inside the unit is improper, and therefore the valve may be deformed from deterioration over time caused by air pressure from behind and from high temperature. If the deformed valve blocks the exhaust port, it may happen that the pressure inside the brake pipe does not decrease and that the brake is activated all the time, which can cause the brake drums to overheat and in the worst case could result in a fire.
