Recall 1113750 — Other (Fuel System)

Overview

Defect

The bracket securing the clamp for the fuel injection nozzle pipe has insufficient strength, causing the bracket to fracture due to engine vibration. Additionally, the shape of the high-pressure fuel pipe and the structure of its securing clamp are improperly designed, causing the clamp bolt to fracture or loosen and the clamp to detach due to engine vibration. Continued use may cause cracks to develop in the injection nozzle pipe or high-pressure fuel pipe, resulting in a fuel leak. In the worst case, the engine stops and cannot be restarted.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, inspect the bracket and high-pressure fuel pipe. Where the corrected part is not installed, replace with the corrected part and torque the clamp to the specified value. Affix a caution label noting maintenance precautions to the side of the engine. For bolt-type clamps, replace with the corrected part where not already installed. For nut-type clamps, apply adhesive to the threaded surface of the stud bolt. As an interim measure while full parts supply is pending, inspect the relevant components and replace any high-pressure fuel pipe showing loosening, or any injection nozzle pipe bracket or high-pressure fuel pipe showing damage, with the corrected part.
