Filing in context
The Fuel Tank is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 79 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 35 Isuzu notifications from 2006 in this archive. For scale, 2,165 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 8 years and 8 months.
Defect
On tractors equipped with air spring suspension, the fuel tank mounting bands are insufficiently tightened. Repeated heavy impacts during rough-road operation may allow the fuel tank to shift. Continued operation causes the tank to contact and damage the fuel filter mounting bracket and, in the worst case, results in a fuel leak.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the fuel tank mounting bands with corrected parts. Where clearance between the fuel filter mounting bracket and the fuel tank is minimal, replace the mounting bracket with a corrected part as well. If the tank itself is damaged, replace it with a new one.

状況
空気ばね緩衝装置付トラクタにおいて、燃料タンクを固定するバンドの締結力が不十分なため、悪路走行時等の過大な衝撃を繰り返し受けると、燃料タンクが動く場合がある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、燃料タンクが、燃料フィルタ取付金具と干渉して損傷し、最悪の場合、燃料が漏れるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、燃料タンク固定バンドを対策品と交換する。また、燃料フィルタ取付金具と燃料タンクの隙間が少ないものは、当該取付金具を対策品と交換する。なお、タンクに損傷のあるものは新品と交換する。
