For diesel engine vehicles, the wind derived for the manual transmission is not sufficient to prevent the temperature of the transmission oil from rising. The heated oil can cause either of the followings: (1) the contact point of the reversing lights switch inside the transmission wears resulting from chemical change, and eventually electrical continuity is lost, in which case the reversing lights will fail, (2) a chemical compound of high electrical conductivity accumulates causing a short circuit, in which case the reversing lights, the gauges and the warning lights will fail.

RJ-1034-1

On certain vehicles, the front hub bearing seals are not installed in the exactly correct position, and therefore they may lose some sealing efficiency when a load is put on the bearings while driving, in which case water can enter inside the bearings causing abnormal noise. If the vehicle continues to be driven in such a condition, the bearings could be damaged, adversely affecting the vehicle's stability.

RJ-1034-2

For diesel engine vehicles with automatic transmission, the bracket securing the alternator does not have sufficient strength, and therefore it may crack from engine vibration, and at worst the alternator could fall off in the engine compartment. If this worst case occurs, the charging function will be lost, and the engine will stop and will not restart.

RJ-1034-3

The wire mesh to hold catalytic carrier inside the catalytic converter is made of improper material, and therefore, sustained high speed driving can cause oxidation and deterioration of the wire mesh by exhaust gas heat, and this may lead to interference of the catalytic carrier and the case causing abnormal noise. If the vehicle continues to be driven with this problem, wear and loss of the catalytic carrier may occur, in which case the vehicle will probably exceed the exhaust emissions standards.

RJ-0932-1

For diesel engine vehicles, the internal structure and strength of the vacuum pump is improper, and therefore, the vanes inside the pump and/or the pump housing may break. If this occurs, (1) no negative pressure can be generated causing the vacuum brake booster to stop functioning, in which case braking efficiency will be reduced, and/or (2) the engine oil inside the vacuum pump can leak causing the engine to lack lubrication, in which case the engine could stop and will not restart.

RJ-0511-0

The engine revs may stay low because the performance of the fuel pump is incompatible with the engine. If the vehicle continues to be driven in such a condition, in the worst case, the flywheel or the clutch cover could be damaged causing the vehicle to stall.

RJ-0502-0

On certain vehicles, the connector terminals of the PTC heater, which heats intake air to the engine, are not properly connected. If left unfixed, in the worst case, the connector could burn out.

KJ-0227-0

When the auxiliary seat is unfolded, the seat leg automatically extends down to support the seat, and therefore, if the seat is operated from the side, the operator's foot may be caught between the floor and the seat leg depending on the foot position.
