Defect

On vehicles equipped with aluminum fuel tanks, two separate defects may cause fuel leakage. (1) The cushioning rubber bonded to the fuel tank mounting hanger is insufficiently adhered. Continued use allows the rubber to detach, causing the tank and hanger to contact each other. This contact damages the tank and may cause a crack to form. In the worst case, fuel may leak. (2) The shape of the positioning protrusion on the fuel tank is incorrect, resulting in insufficient strength in the area around that protrusion. Vehicle vibration may cause a crack to develop in the tank. In the worst case, fuel may leak.

Corrective action

Vehicles affected only by defect (1): Replace the rubber-equipped hanger with a conforming part on all vehicles, then inspect the rubber. If the rubber has detached, replace the fuel tank with a new unit. Vehicles affected only by defect (2): Replace the fuel tank with a corrected part on all vehicles. Vehicles affected by both defects (1) and (2): Replace the rubber-equipped hanger with a conforming part and replace the fuel tank with a corrected part on all vehicles.

改善措置

①の不具合にのみ該当する車両は、全車両、ラバー付きハンガーを良品と交換するととも  に、当該ラバーを点検し、ラバーが剥がれているものは、燃料タンクを新品と交換する  。 ②の不具合にのみ該当する車両は、全車両、燃料タンクを対策品と交換する。 ①と②の不具合に該当する車両は、全車両、ラバー付きハンガーを良品と交換するととも  に、燃料タンクを対策品と交換する。
