Filing in context
The Fuel Filter is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 11 of its 4,890 filings. This is the only Daihatsu notification from 1993 in this archive. For scale, 4,159 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 3 months.
Defect
The fuel filter mounted on the engine vibrates within a specific high-speed engine RPM range. Prolonged operation under these conditions causes the fuel line retaining bracket to fracture, imposing excessive stress on the fuel filter. Continued use then causes a crack to develop near the junction between the fuel filter body and the fuel line at its upper section, resulting in a fuel leak. In the worst case, a vehicle fire may occur.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the affected fuel filter with a fuel filter equipped with a support bracket. Inspect the fuel line retaining bracket and, if a crack or fracture is found, replace both the retaining bracket and the fuel line with new parts.
