DAIHATSU MOTOR CO., LTD.

Today, Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd. (Daihatsu) notified the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) of a recall of the Gran Max, the TOWN ACE sold by Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota), and the BONGO sold by Mazda Motor Corporation (Mazda).

2) The production period of vehicles subject to the recall is different from the date of vehicle purchase.

2. Status of Defect

Due to insufficient testing of the battery fixture during development, there is a risk that the battery could move excessively, come loose, and fail to hold the battery in place in the event of a rear-end collision.

3. Improvement Details

The battery fixtures on all vehicles will be replaced with corrective parts and battery stoppers will be added.
