On certain vehicles, there is abrasion left on the spline part of the pinion gear shaft of the transverse gearbox, because the instruction of the past recall was inadequate. If this problem is left unattended, excessive stress can be put on the transverse gearbox attachment section of the flywheel housing due to the eccentric rotation of the drive shaft between the transmission and the transverse gearbox, and at worst the attachment section could rupture, causing the transverse gearbox to fall off, in which case the vehicle will stall. This recall is to override the past recall (case number RJ-0571-0), which was submitted on 25th May 1999 and was inappropriate.
Case Number:
RJ-1261-0
Make/model:
Issued:
Wed, 2004-10-13
Component:
power train
Affected:
3 797
Correction:
The transverse gearbox assembly should be replaced with a non-defective one. In addition, the flywheel housing, the clutch housing and the stiffener should be inspected, and the damaged ones should be replaced with new ones. Incidentally, it will take time to supply all the non-defective transverse gearboxes, and therefore as a temporary measure, the companion flange should be inspected for the attachment, and if there is abnormality, the replacement of the transverse gearbox should be carried out, and otherwise, it should be done at a later date.
Identification:
sticker ('MB-02' is written) on the upper part on the back of the inspection lid located at the left rear of the vehicle body, blue one for the temporary measure and white/yellow one for the permanent measure
