Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1116980 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | July 19, 2006 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Suzuki |
| Component | Fuel tank |
| Production period | October 13, 2004 — January 14, 2006 |
| Vehicles affected | 3,200 units |
Defect
During the fuel tank manufacturing process, the bolts securing the fuel gauge to the tank were overtorqued, causing significant deformation of the gasket. Subsequent swelling from fuel exposure has deformed the gasket further. The compromised gasket seal at the bolt locations allows fuel to leak.
Corrective action
Replace the affected gasket and mounting bolts on all vehicles with corrected parts, and torque the mounting bolts to the specified value.

状況
燃料タンクの製造工程において、燃料ゲージをタンクに取り付けるボルトを過大なトルクで締付けたため、ガスケットを大きく変形させたものがあり、ガソリンにより膨潤し更に大きく変形しているものがある。そのため、ガスケットの取付けボルト部分の気密性が損なわれ、ガソリンが漏れるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、当該ガスケットと取付けボルトを対策品と交換し、取付けボルトを規定のトルクで締付ける。
