RJ-2275-0

For the swing doors of large sightseeing buses, the switch in the safety mechanism that prevents passengers from being caught by the door is not sufficiently waterproofed, and the shape of the cover over the switch that detects the door lock position is not appropriate. Therefore, if these switches malfunction at the same time, the safety mechanism is unexpectedly activated, and in the worst case, the door could open while the bus is in motion.

KJ-0382-0

For the interior lighting fixtures of large sightseeing buses and highway route buses, the material of the covers is not appropriate, and therefore, there is a risk that the case may rupture around its fixings. If this problem is left unattended, the cover may come off the ceiling and fall down.

RJ-2105-0

For the heat exchangers for heating air, the storage box structure does not provide a sufficient waterproofing function and allows water containing snow melting agent to seep through, which can cause an electric leakage around the harness connectors attached to the fan motors. If this problem is left unattended, the connectors may overheat, and in the worst case, a fire could break out.

RJ-1900-0

The fuel injection pipes may resonate in the middle rev range and eventually crack, due to improper shape. If this problem is left unattended, the fuel may leak and mix into the engine oil, which may burn in the cylinders with the blow-by gas. If this occurs, an engine output power shortage or resonance may take place, and in the worst case, the engine might stall and fail to restart. Note: This problem was reported in RJ-1754-0 on 25th October 2006, but the measures were not sufficient and the problem still occurred, so this recall is submitted.

RJ-1496-0

On certain vehicle, the fuel pipe from the fuel tank to the engine is not properly routed, and therefore it may interfere with the air duct of the air conditioner. If this problem is left unattended, the fuel pipe may wear, and in the worst case, a puncture could occur allowing air to mix in, in which case the engine could stop and would not restart.

RJ-0982-0

For certain aluminum wheels for buses, there may be tensile stress around the decoration holes due to the improper process of partially strengthening the wheels, and therefore, the wheels may be damaged by load from driving.

RJ-0903-0

On certain vehicles, the steering shaft joints may not be installed at the correct position. If left unfixed, in the worst case, the joints may come off, which could make steering impossible.

RJ-0624-2

For the connectors and reserved connectors of the lights for the aisle and the steps in the passengers' compartment, the housings on the back of the lights do not have waterproofing agent around the wiring, and this may allow water to enter inside the housings. If water causes corrosion, the lights could fail to work.

RJ-0624-1

The connectors and reserved connectors of the lights for the aisle and the steps are of a non-waterproof type with too close terminals, and therefore, if snow melting agent etc. enters inside the connectors, the connectors may heat up and burn out, and in the worst case, a short circuit could occur, which might cause the engine not to restart.

RJ-0550-0

The bracket adjusting the tension of the engine fan belt does not have sufficient strength. If left unfixed, the bracket may break, and this would leave the belt slack, which in the worst case could cause the engine to overheat.
