RJ-1735-0

On certain rear tandem axle vehicles (rear-rear axle : dead axle), the trunnion bases for the rear axles do not have sufficient strength, and therefore, they may crack, for example, due to stress caused when holding the steering wheel at full lock for a turn. If this problem is left unattended, the cracks may grow, and in the worst case, the bases may break, which would cause the vehicle to stall.

RJ-1634-0

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-1636-0

There is a glitch in the computer program in the ECU, which controls the gear change of the mechanical type automatic transmission. When the driver stops the vehicle without pressing the clutch pedal after driving in the 'D' range, the clutch automatically becomes disengaged, so it may occur that the vehicle starts to creep if it is stopped on a down hill without the brake applied. The ECU could mistakenly recognise such a condition as a normal driving mode, in which case it will engage the clutch, allowing the vehicle to take off.

RJ-1675-0

For the engine, the check valves of the oil injection unit, which is to cool the pistons, do not have sufficient rigidity, and therefore, they might have deformed at the time of assembling. The deformed check valve may stop oil injection, in which case the piston will not be cooled. If this condition continues, the temperature of the piston will rise, and as result, the check valve may crack, which could lead to oil leakage and fire, or the piston and cylinder may burn, which could cause the vehicle to stall.

RJ-1637-0

The cage of the needle roller bearing that supports the third gear in the transmission does not have sufficient strength, and therefore, it may deform or break from the load by the third gear. If this problem is left unattended, the gear shift may malfunction and make abnormal noises, and in the worst case, the bearing could burn out, which would cause the vehicle to stall. Note: This problem was reported in RJ-1277-0, submitted on 20th October 2004, but the vehicles to be recalled were not correctly accounted for, so this recall is add some vehicles to the recall list.

KJ-0315-0

On certain large and medium sized trucks with manual cab tilt system, the rebound cushion, which is a part of the position detection mechanism for the cab lock, may become adhered to the hook hinge clamp due to improper material, and in which case, it may occur that despite the lock being not engaged the position detection switch for the cab lock is not activated and the cab lock warning light does not illuminate.

RJ-1605-0

The rack that is to control the injection amount of the fuel injection pump does not have sufficient strength around the notches. Also, the way the fuel injection pump is attached to the engine is not appropriate. For these reasons, the rack can break from continued high revs, in which case the engine revs could rise and at worst this could result in a fire. Note: This problem was reported in RJ-1241-0, submitted on 22nd September 2004, but the vehicles to be recalled were not fully accounted for, so this recall is to add some vehicles to the recall list.

RJ-1553-0

(1) For heavy trucks, on certain vehicles, the fuel hoses between the engine and the fuel filter may interfere with the hose for the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system due to engine vibration etc., as they are not properly installed. If this problem is left unattended, the fuel hoses or the EGR hose may puncture, and in the worst case, fuel could leak, in which case the exhaust gas could exceed the regulatory standards.

RJ-1477-0

On certain transverse gearboxes that were replaced in the past recall, some of the oil holes are not through or are too small because of core sand left inside the holes at the casting process. If this problem is left unattended, the outer bearing could burn out due to a lack of lubrication, and in the worst case the vehicle would stall. This recall is submitted, because some of the replaced units in the RJ-1261-0 recall (submitted on 13th October 2004) were defective.

RJ-1478-0

The welded section between the pipe and the spline shaft of the propeller shaft does not have sufficient durability, and it may crack if a sudden start or an uphill start is repeated excessively. If this problem is left unattended, in the worst case, the propeller shaft could break, which would cause the vehicle to stall.
