Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1104250 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | December 9, 1993 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Daihatsu |
| Component | Fuel Filter |
| Production period | August 23, 1993 — November 1993 |
| Vehicles affected | 49 units |
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.
