Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1112190 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | September 10, 2004 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Isuzu |
| Component | Fuel Hose / Pipe |
| Production period | December 2000 — May 22, 2003 |
| Vehicles affected | 2,461 units |
Filing in context
The Fuel Hose / Pipe is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 62 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 40 Isuzu notifications from 2004 in this archive. For scale, 2,305 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 2 years and 5 months.
Defect
In the common-rail fuel injection system, the flow damper (a flow-limiting component) has insufficient strength. Repeated fuel pressure cycles during injection cause cracks to develop at the injection pipe mounting area of the flow damper. Continued use allows the crack to propagate and fuel to leak. In the worst case, a vehicle fire may result.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the flow damper with the corrected part. The fuel injection pipe shall also be replaced with a part compatible with the corrected flow damper.

状況
コモンレール式燃料噴射装置において、フローダンパ（流量を制限する部品）の強度が 不足しているため、燃料噴射時の燃料圧力の繰り返しにより、フローダンパの噴射パイプ 取付け部に亀裂が生じるものがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、亀裂が進行し 燃料が漏れ、最悪の場合、火災に至るおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、フローダンパを対策品と交換する。なお、燃料噴射パイプも対策品のフローダン パに対応したものと交換する。
