RJ-1003-0

On certain vehicles, the caulking of the metallic retention part of the ball joint which connects the lower arm of the front wheel shock absorber and the knuckle is insufficient. If left unfixed, water may get in, causing rust on the ball. As a result, the resin bearing may get worn out exceedingly. In the worst case, the vehicle becomes stalled. Note: this recall is to include more vehicles in the previous recall; RJ-0712-0 issued on 15 February 2001.

RJ-0935-0

On certain vehicles, the resin-made fuel tank is not sealed properly, because the leveling pipe is improperly deposited onto it. If left unfixed, the deposited part may exfoliate, causing fuel to leak.

RJ-0784-0

For active stability control system(ASC) hydraulic power unit, on certain vehicles, the diaphragm inside the gas charged accumulator lacks durability. If left unfixed, the gas in the accumulator may mix into the brake fluid, which can result in a spongy feeling brake pedal. At worst, damping force decreases.

RJ-0645-0

On certain vehicles, there may be some production damage on the dust boot of the ball joint which connects the lower arm of the front wheel shock absorber and the steering knuckle arm. If left unfixed, mud water may get in from the damaged section of the dust boot, causing the resin of the bearing to become worn out excessively. At worst, the ball stud comes off.

RJ-0490-0

On certain vehicles, the process finishing of the fuel passage for the high pressure fuel pump, which supplies fuel to the engine, is improper. If left unfixed, the foreign material (aluminum particles) may become stuck inside the pump, causing the fuel pressure to decrease. At worst, the engine stalls, and will not restart.

RJ-0534-0

For vehicles with ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) with a stroke sensor, on some of them, grease was accidentally left on the contact point of the brake light switch. If left unfixed, in the worst case, the resin part for switching on & off gets fused by the carbonized grease, keeping the brake light illuminated or unilluminated.

RJ-0494-0

The active stability control system (ASC) may operate erroneously, due to a glitch in the computer program, and in the worst case, this results in reduced brake efficiency.
