FUSO AERO STAR

RJ-2074-0

For large route buses, the air pipes and the power steering pipes may interfere with the under floor support beam located at the rear of the bus because of inappropriate placements of the pipes. If this problem is left unattended, (1) the air pipes may be damaged, which may allow air to leak and/or cause the horn to fail, and in the worst case this could result in reduced braking efficiency, (2) the power steering pipes may be damaged, which may allow oil to leak, and this could result in heavier steering.

RJ-2198-0

On certain vehicles, the electrical wiring of the electronic controlled transmission may not be properly routed, and it may be in contact with the fuel tank. If this problem is left unattended, the wiring may be damaged due to vibration during traveling, and in the worst case, the alarm lamp might illuminate, the gear position indicator might malfunction, and/or changing the gear might become impossible, causing the vehicle to stall.

RJ-1766-0

For shock absorbers of large regular route buses ('non-step' buses), the radius rod on the rear axle may not have sufficient strength around the threads of the ball stud. If the bolt is taken out for maintenance etc. many times, the threads may be damaged and break, and in the worst case, the driving stability may be jeopardized.

RJ-1743-0

The electrical wires in the engine room may interfere with the edge of the bracket due to improper routing. If this problem is left unattended, the wires may be damaged or short circuited due to vehicle body vibration etc., and in the worst case, the rear lights such as brake lights may fail to illuminate or the engine may stop and fail to restart.

RJ-1712-0

The air charge pipes are not properly routed, and therefore, they may interfere with the sill. If this problem is left unattended, the pipes may be damaged due to vehicle body vibration etc., in which case air may leak and the horn may fail to function, and in the worst case, this might result in reduced braking efficiency.

RJ-1635-0

For the starter systems of big shuttle buses, hardness of the flywheel ring gear is not sufficient and length of the wire in the activation circuit for the starter magnetic switch is not adequate. For these reasons, the starter pinion and the flywheel ring gear may collide and interfere with each other when starting the engine, and the edges of the gear teeth may be damaged or broken from the wrong meshing. If this occurs, it becomes difficult or impossible to start the engine, and repeating engine starting operations could cause a fire in the worst case.

RJ-1447-0

The antivibration rubber part of the engine rear mount does not have sufficient strength, and therefore, repeated engine vibration while starting and accelerating can cause the rubber to crack and break. If this problem is left unattended, the engine front mount may be damaged, too, and in the worst case, the engine side supporting part of the gear shifting unit could come off, making a gear shifting operation impossible.

RJ-1511-0

The sections where the slave lever brackets are secured do not have sufficient strength, and they may crack from repeated dry steering. If this problem is left unattended, the cracks may grow, causing the sleeve levers to be unstable. In such a case, misalignment of the neutral position of the steering wheel may occur and/or the vehicle may drift while the driver has an intention of driving straight, and in the worst case, the slave levers could separate from the vehicle frame, which would make steering impossible.

RJ-1475-0

On certain vehicles with vertically placed fuel tank whose original placement was horizontal, the metallic parts securing the fuel tank to the frame, namely tank support and tank support brackets, are secured with bolts of insufficient strength. If this problem is left unattended, the bolts may break from vibration during driving etc. If the vehicle continues to be driven with such a broken bolt, the metallic parts may come off, and in the worst case the fuel tank could fall off.

RJ-1381-0

When the accelerator pedal is depressed all the way, the joint of the engine idling up cable may be caught on the return spring hook due to improper shape of the joint. If this occurs, the accelerator control lever may not return to the position, which would cause the engine revs not to drop.
