FUSO AERO MIDI

RJ-1846-0

The height of the centre bolts of the rear leaf springs is not appropriate, and therefore, the head of the center bolt may interfere with the rear axle, which could create space between the spring and the axle. If this problem is left unattended, localized stress around the centre bolt could cause the spring to break, in which case the vehicle stability would be adversely affected.

RJ-1838-0

There is a possibility that the bush of the head idler gear for the camshaft is made of an inappropriate material, and therefore, it may prematurely wear and cause the gear to rattle. If this problem is left unattended, excessive stress may be exerted on the brim of the shaft, and the brim may break. If this occurs, the gear may interfere with the surrounding parts, making abnormal noise, or engine oil may leak, and at worst, interlocking between the gears could be lost, in which case the engine would stop and would not restart.

RJ-1772-0

On certain vehicles, the electrical wiring of the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system may be insufficiently long and too tight near the connector, and stress may be exerted on that portion of the wiring due to engine vibration etc. If this problem is left unattended, wire breakage may occur, and in the worst case, the EGR valve could malfunction, in which case the emission level could exceed the safety standards.

KJ-0322-0

For one-man buses whose entrance is between the front axle and the rear axle, those without a rear wheel guard, which is sometimes called a 'cow-catcher' and designed to prevent people from being crushed by the rear wheels of the bus, may not satisfy the 'one-man bus structure standards' regarding the height of the body edge measured from the ground.

RJ-1664-0

For the seat belts on the most back seats, the brackets are placed in a tilted position, because the bracket bolt holes on the floorboard are not of the right size. If this problem is left unattended, the bolts may loosen, and in the worst case, the seat belts might fail to restrain the passengers in the case of a collision.

RJ-1505-0

The bush of the head idler gear for the camshaft is not properly manufactured, and therefore, too much play may occur between the head idler gear shaft and the bush, which may cause excessive stress on the base of the brim of the shaft. If this problem is left unattended, the brim of the shaft may break, and consequently, the gear may interfere with the surrounding parts, making abnormal noise, or engine oil may leak, and at worst, interlocking between the gears could be lost, in which case the engine would stop and would not restart.

RJ-1504-0

(1) On certain vehicles, the bolt that secures the head idler gear, which drives the engine camshaft, is not properly tightened, which may cause the gear to be unstable. If this problem is left unattended, the bolt may loosen and the gear may not align properly with other gears, making abnormal noise, and at worst, the bolt could break and interlocking between the gears would be lost, in which case the engine would stop and would not restart.

RJ-1468-0

The front axle lacks strength in the area near the knuckle stoppers, and therefore the stoppers may crack if excessive stress is caused on the kingpin bosses, such as while the vehicle is turning. Such cracks may worsen as the kingpins rattle more. If this problem is left unattended, the cracks may grow, and in the worst case, either kingpin could separate from the boss, and the tyres could tilt, causing the vehicle to stall.

RJ-1455-0

For the accelerator interlock system, which prevents the accelerator from raising the engine speed above idle until the door has closed, the rod that stops the accelerator pedal being depressed is not secured at an appropriate position, and therefore the attachment part of the pedal may deform, if the pedal is depressed sideways while the accelerator interlock system is engaged.

RJ-1442-0

For middle size buses, the electrical wiring in the engine compartment is not properly routed, and it may interfere with the bolt securing the muffler. If this problem is left unattended, the wiring sheath may be damaged from vehicle body vibration, causing a short circuit, and in the worst case, the lights on the rear could fail or the vehicle would not start.
