Defect
② The bracket that secures the high-pressure fuel pipe clamp in the fuel injection system has insufficient strength. Engine vibration causes the bracket to fracture. Continued use causes a crack to form in the high-pressure fuel pipe, resulting in a fuel leak and, in the worst case, engine stall and inability to restart.
Corrective action
② Replace the bracket securing the high-pressure fuel pipe clamp with a corrected part.
