Defect
On vehicles converted from gasoline fuel systems to liquefied petroleum gas specification, the material and shape of the filter cup clamping bolts fitted to the solenoid valve or emergency shutoff valve in the fuel line are incorrect, providing insufficient strength relative to the specified tightening torque. Continued use in this condition may cause the bolt to fracture in the worst case, allowing gas to leak.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the filter cup clamping bolts with the correct parts.

状況
ガソリン燃料装置を液化石油ガス仕様に改造した車両において、燃料ラインに装着され た電磁弁または緊急遮断弁のフィルタカップ締付ボルトの材料及び形状が不適切なため、 規定締付けトルクに対する強度が不足している。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続け ると、最悪の場合、ボルトが破断してガスが漏れるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、フィルタカップ締付けボルトを正規品と交換する。
