Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1109660 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | July 23, 2003 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Honda, Isuzu |
| Component | Fuel Injection System |
| Production period | February 12, 1998 — March 31, 2000 |
| Vehicles affected | 9,124 units |
Defect
In the fuel injection system, the O-rings surrounding the injectors have insufficient heat resistance. Over time, the sealing performance of these O-rings degrades, allowing fuel to contaminate the engine oil and increasing the oil volume in the oil pan. Continued operation in this condition allows the fuel-contaminated oil to enter the intake manifold through the blowby hose, which may cause engine speed to rise uncontrollably.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the affected O-rings with the corrected parts.

状況
原動機の燃料噴射装置において、インジェクタ回りのオーリングの耐熱性が不十分なた め、経時劣化によりシール性能が低下して、燃料がエンジンオイルに混入しオイルパン油 量が増大するものがあり、そのままの状態で使用を続けるとブローバイホースを通して吸 気管に燃料の混入したオイルが入り、原動機の回転が上昇するおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、当該オーリングを対策品に交換する。
