RJ-1376-2

Submitted by administrator on Wed, 03/04/2015 - 00:56

The ball studs do not have sufficient strength, and their tapered sections may crack from frequent dry steering. If this problem is left unattended, in the worst case, the tapered sections could break, making steering impossible.

Case Number: 
RJ-1376-2

Correction: 
The ball studs 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 studs should be inspected, and if there are any cracks, the replacement should be carried out, otherwise it should be done at a later date.
Identification: 
sticker ('HB-22' is written) on the upper corner of the back of the inspection lid located at the left rear of the vehicle body, blue one for the temporary measure, white/yellow one for the permanent countermeasure
