For vehicles with manual transmission, there may not be sufficient space between the fuel hose and the shift linkage due to improper shape of the fuel filter bracket, and in the worst case, the shift linkage could interfere with the fuel hose when the shift lever is operated.

For the turn indicator switch of vehicles with side turn indicators, the circuit of the flasher unit is not well designed, and therefore, a surge may occur when the switch is operated. If this occurs, the contact point will wear, and in the worst case, the turn indicators could fail to illuminate.

For the hazard light switch of vehicles with side turn indicators, the contact point lacks durability, and therefore, a surge may occur when the switch is operated. If this occurs, the contact point will wear, and in the worst case, the hazard light could fail to illuminate.

For the engine control computer program of vehicles with a DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) system, the fuel injection amount of the DPR(Diesel Particulate active Reduction) system under low load conditions is not set correct, and therefore, surplus fuel may mix into the engine oil. If this occurs and the engine oil level remains above the recommended limit, the engine oil could enter the intake, generating white smoke and causing the engine revs to rise, and in the worst case the engine could stall without the ability to restart.

There is a glitch in the computer program that calculates the accumulated particulate matter inside the diesel particulate filter (DPF). Therefore, when the vehicle is driven under high load at low revs, the automatic regeneration function of the DPF (burning off the caught particulate matter) may not be activated as designed, in which case, a lot of particulate matter could accumulate and cause the engine to malfunction, and in the worst case, the engine could stop and fail to restart.

There is a possibility that the bush of the head idler gear for the camshaft is made of an inappropriate material, and therefore, it may prematurely wear and cause the gear to rattle. If this problem is left unattended, excessive stress may be exerted on the brim of the shaft, and the brim may break. If this occurs, the gear may interfere with the surrounding parts, making abnormal noise, or engine oil may leak, and at worst, interlocking between the gears could be lost, in which case the engine would stop and would not restart.

For auxiliary seats on microbuses, the way the hinge pins are secured on the seat cushion brackets is not inappropriate, and therefore, the hinge pins may shift after repeated folding of the seat, and this may cause the split pins, which are to prevent the hinge pins from coming out, to interfere with the cushion frame. If the split pins break, in the worst case, they could come off, causing the auxiliary seat to tilt.

For vehicles with automatic door, the open/close switch does not have sufficient current capacity, and therefore, if the open/close switch is operated while the door is opening/closing, a surge may occur, in which case abrasion powder may be generated between the contact points. If this problem is left unattended, the abrasion powder may accumulate, and the contact points may conduct electricity, which in the worst case could cause the door to open/close unexpectedly.

For vehicles with an additional catalyst installed to comply with the emissions standards for diesel vehicles, which are promulgated in the metropolitan area (Saitama, Chiba, Tokyo, Kanagawa), the exhaust pipe at the front of the main muffler does not have sufficient strength for engine vibration. If left unfixed, the exhaust pipe may break, causing the noise level to increase.

For the 4WD vehicles modified from 2WD, the rivets securing the steering gear bracket onto the vehicle frame do not have sufficient strength, and therefore, repeatedly turning the steering wheel to the maximum can cause the rivets to break. If the vehicle continues to be driven with such broken rivets, the play of the steering wheel may increase, resulting in unreliable steering control.
