RJ-2400-3

The tube protecting the electrical wiring for the engine control is not sufficiently long, so it may be interfering with the metal bracket. If this problem is left unattended, the sheath may be damaged, and in the worst case, a short circuit could occur, in which case the fuel control fuse would blow, and the engine would stall and would not restart.

RJ-2400-0

(1) For the front suspension systems, the bolts securing the lower arms and the lower arm ball joints may not have sufficient torque. If this problem is left unattended, the bolts may loosen, and in the worst case, they may break and cause the vehicle to stall. (2) For vehicles whose bolts securing the lower arms and the lower arm ball joints have been tightened as following the RJ-1821-0 recall instructions, those bolts may not have sufficient torque due to an improper tightening method.

RJ-1926-0

For the rear drum brakes, the link plates, which bring the brake shoes back to the place when the brake is released, do not have sufficient strength, and therefore, they may crack from unanticipated load if the driver repeatedly stops the vehicle by using the parking brake only. If the vehicle continues to be driven with the cracked link plate, the plate may break and a broken piece could be caught between the brake shoe and drum. If this occurs, in the worst case, the rear wheel would lock up, which could adversely affect the stability of the vehicle.

RJ-1867-0

There is a glitch in the hydraulic pressure control program of the automatic transmission control unit, and therefore, the lubrication in the automatic transmission may not be properly maintained. If this problem is left unattended, the needle bearing of the pinion gear may break. If such breakage occurs, a fragment of the bearing may be caught in the gear, and this may cause the surrounding parts to wear. If abrasion powder blocks the oil strainer, the hydraulic pressure may drop, and this could make gear changing impossible and in the worst case cause the vehicle to stall.

RJ-1832-0

For police vehicles with large capacity batteries, the plastic bands that secure the battery cables do not have sufficient heat resistance, and therefore, they may be damaged by the heat in the engine compartment. If this occurs, the battery cables may dangle and interfere with the heat shield of the exhaust manifold, and in the worst case, the cable sheath could melt, which could cause a short circuit, resulting in a fire.

RJ-1821-0

For front suspension systems of 2WD vehicles, the torque of the bolts securing the lower arms and the lower arm ball joints may not be sufficient due to improper installation. If this problem is left unattended, the bolts may loosen, and in the worst case, they may break and cause the vehicle to stall.

RJ-1627-0

For vehicles modified as vans, the relay terminals inside the flasher unit for turn signals and hazard lamps may overheat, due to an increased electric load with auxiliary turn signals additionally installed. As a result of this, the temperature of the solder in the terminals may rise, if the hazard lamps are kept on for a long time. Repeated heat expansion and contraction of the solder in the terminals may cause cracks, and in the worst case, the turn signals and the hazard lamps could fail to illuminate.
