FUSO CANTER

RJ-1286-0

The tie-rod end assemblies should be replaced with the factory approved replacement units. Incidentally, it will take time to supply all the factory approved replacement units, and therefore as a temporary measure, the ball joints should be inspected and if they rattle or the dust boots are damaged, the replacement should be carried out, and otherwise it should be done at a later date.

RJ-1287-2

The upper arm assemblies should be replaced with new ones. Incidentally, it will take time to supply all the necessary parts, and therefore as a temporary measure, the upper arm ball joints should be inspected and if they rattle or the dust boots are damaged, the ball joints should be replaced with the factory approved replacement units, and otherwise they should be replaced at a later date.

RJ-1278-0

For vehicles with power steering unit, the knuckle arm does not have sufficient strength, and frequent dry steering or repeated driving with a high frequency of steering can cause it to crack. If this problem is left unattended, in the worst case, the knuckle arm could break, making steering impossible.

RJ-1242-0

The knuckle arms should be replaced with the factory approved replacement units. Incidentally, it will take time to supply all the factory approved replacement units, and therefore as a temporary measure, the knuckle arm ball studs should be inspected for cracks, and if there are any, the replacements should be carried out, and otherwise, they should be done at later date.

RJ-1221-0

For vehicles with independent front suspension, the water prevention measures of the bearings inside the front wheel hubs are improper, and therefore, muddy water can enter into the bearings and cause rust and/or wear. If this problem is left unattended, vibration and abnormal noise may be generated, and in the worst case, the bearings could be damaged causing the vehicle to stall. This recall is to revise the past recall (case number RJ-0952-0, issued on 9 June 2003) and to include more vehicles because the factory approved replacement in the past recall was not sufficient.

KJ-0200-0

There is a glitch in the computer program for ABS (Anti-lock Braking System). Because of it, ABS fails to function properly in case of braking while turning the steering wheel far to the left or right, making the braking distance longer than normal.

KJ-0215-0

For trash vehicles run on LPG, there is a glitch in the computer program that controls the amount of the fuel gas injection. Because of it, the amount of the fuel gas injection may become excessive for a short amount of time when the trash compressor is in operation such as during trash loading, resulting in the increased amount of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbon (HC) in the exhaust gas. If the trash compressor is operated continuously, the workers may inhale high amount of CO and HC.

RJ-1083-0

The measurement of the brackets securing the fuel tank is incorrect. Also, the structure of the bracket's section where the tank is secured with bolts is improper, and the torque of the bolt is inadequate. For these reasons, the tank securing bolt or the bracket securing bolt may become loose due to vibration during traveling etc. If left unfixed, a crack may occur on the fuel tank, causing fuel leakage, or a crack may occur on the bracket and in the worst case it may get damaged, causing the fuel tank to fall off.

RJ-0952-0

For vehicles with independent front suspension, the water prevention measures of the bearing inside the front wheel hub are improper. As a result, mud water may get into bearing, causing rust and/or wear, and this may create vibration and make abnormal noises. If left unfixed, in the worst case, the bearing gets damaged, and travel stability becomes impaired.

RJ-0949-0

The vehicle frame or the brackets for the rear air suspension may crack due to insufficient strength of the brackets, making abnormal noises during traveling. At worst, the brackets move from the original positions, adversely affecting vehicle stability.
