For vehicles with Hill Start Aid (HSA), the solenoid valve for controlling the HSA is not properly waterproofed, and it may allow water containing snow-melting agent to enter inside. If the inside of the valve rusts because of water intrusion, the hydraulic circuit may be blocked while the HAS is in operation, in which case the brake is kept applied, and in the worst case the brake might overheat, resulting in a fire.

For van type vehicles, the lock with an emergency unlocking feature on the loading door does not have an appropriate structure, and therefore, the emergency unlocking feature may be triggered by vibration during travelling etc., causing the lock to be released. If this occurs, the door may open while the vehicle is in motion, and in the worst case, the load might fall off the vehicle.

For the ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), the front wheel speed sensor covers, which block foreign materials, do not have an appropriate shape, and therefore, the sensor may be hit by a stone thrown from a tyre and damaged. If this occurs, the ABS may not receive signals from the wheels and could malfunction, which in the worst case could result in reduced braking efficiency during low speed travelling.

The rear wheel fender supports are not installed in the right way, and therefore, they may crack from localized stress, which can be repeatedly placed from vibration during driving. If this problem is left unattended, the cracks may grow, and in the worst case, the rear wheel fenders could fall, which could cause a hazard to other traffic.

The flange of the catalyst converter connected to the exhaust pipe is not properly welded. If this problem is left unattended, the welded section may crack due to vibration of the engine etc. during driving, and in the worst case, exhaust gas could leak, resulting in an increased noise level.

For compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles, the first diaphragm of the low pressure regulator that supplies fuel does not have sufficient strength, and therefore, it may be damaged from repeated use, in which case the fuel density may become greater, causing erratic engine revs or starting malfunction. If this problem is left unattended, a backfire may occur, and in the worst case, the second diaphragm might be damaged, which could lead to a fuel leak.

For vehicles with independent front wheel suspension, the socket of the ball joints, which connects the lower arm and the knuckle, do not have sufficient strength, and therefore they may crack, as they prematurely wear if the rubber boots are damaged. If this problem is left unattended, the cracks may grow, and the lower arms may separate from the knuckles, causing the vehicle to stall.

The roller in the centre roller bracket for the sliding side door does not have sufficient durability, and therefore it may wear prematurely. If the shaft is exposed as a result of the wear, it may be worn and deformed from opening and closing of the door, and eventually the door could fall off, if the centre rail bracket comes off the rail when the door is opened.

The heat protector bracket secured on the vehicle frame does not have sufficient strength due to the improper shape, and therefore, it can break from engine vibration etc., in which case it may interfere with the brake pipe. If this problem is left unattended, the brake pipe may be damaged causing brake fluid to leak, which can adversely affect braking performance.

On certain vehicles, the clips to secure the fuel pipes connected to the fuel pump have cracks, which occurred during the installation due to improper manufacturing method. If left unfixed, the clips may fall off, and in the worst case, the fuel pipes could break from vibration etc.
