AERO QUEEN

For the combustion heater designed to heat the vehicle interior, the fuel pump located in the burner head assembly may have a manufacturing defect. If the defective pump continues to be operated, it may leak, and in the worst case, the leaked fuel could catch fire from the heat of the heater.

This recall concerns a spring-type parking brake system. (1) The method of installing the watertight caps was not appropriate, and therefore, water may enter the spring chambers, which might cause the springs to rust. If this occurs, the springs may break, and subsequently the diaphragms might be damaged, which could allow air to escape, and in the worst case, the parking brake would be activated while the vehicle is in motion.

The engine control wires may be worn and damaged at bending points from abrasion against the wire protection tubes (corrugate tubes), because the wire sheath does not have sufficient abrasion resistance. If this problem is left unattended, a short circuit or a disconnection may occur, in which case the engine could stop and at worst it would not restart. Note: This problem was reported in RJ-1239-0, submitted on 22nd 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.

The clutch release fork may not have sufficient strength, because its keyway is not properly processed and causes localized stress, and therefore the fork may crack after repeated clutch operations. If the vehicle continues to be driven with the cracked fork, in the worst case, the fork could break, in which case it would become impossible to change gear with clutch operation and the vehicle would stall. Also, the fork may crack due to improper maintenance, such as applying grease of the wrong type, and this could result in the same problem.
