RJ-1290-0

Submitted by administrator on Wed, 03/04/2015 - 00:55

The suspension arms should be replaced with the factory approved replacement units and the knuckle shafts should be replaced with new ones. Incidentally, it will take time to supply all the necessary parts, and therefore as a temporary measure, the subject parts should inspected, and the ones with abnormality should be replaced straightaway and the others should be replaced at a later date.

Case Number: 
RJ-1290-0

Correction: 
Regarding the independent suspension system, the front wheel suspension arms, and the rear rear suspension arms of the rear tandem axle vehicles do not have sufficient rigidity, and therefore, the stiffeners of the arms can crack or the knuckle shafts can wear from stress of driving and braking etc. If this problem is left unattended, the stiffeners or the knuckle shafts could break causing the vehicle to stall.
Identification: 
sticker ('HB-03' is written), blue one for the temporary measure and white/yellow one for the permanent factory approved replacement, on the upper corner on the back of the inspection lid located at the left rear of the vehicle body
