Defect
The oil filter element designated as a scheduled replacement service part has insufficient case strength. When used on engines of type 6HK1, the case may develop a crack. Continued use allows engine oil to leak through the crack. In the worst case, the engine may seize and the vehicle becomes inoperable. Oil dispersed onto the road surface may also interfere with other traffic.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, affix a sticker to the engine prohibiting use of the affected element, and add a warning note to the owner's manual. If the affected element is currently installed, replace it with the corrected part.

状況
定期交換用の補修部品として指定されているオイルフィルタエレメントにおいて、ケースの強度が不足しているため、原動機型式６ＨＫ１型に使用した場合、亀裂が発生することがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、亀裂部からエンジンオイルが漏れ、最悪の場合、原動機が焼き付き走行できなくなる。または、オイルが路面に飛散して他の交通を妨げるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、原動機に当該エレメントの使用を禁止する旨のステッカーを貼付するとともに、取扱説明書に使用禁止の注意文を追記する。また、当該エレメントを使用している場合は、対策品と交換する。
