Filing in context

Defect
The fuel tank cap and filler neck are incorrectly dimensioned, causing the filler neck to swell from fuel contact. This swelling makes the fuel tank cap increasingly difficult to tighten and may prevent it from sealing properly. Continued use allows fuel to leak from the filler neck, which may ignite from static electricity or other ignition sources, resulting in a vehicle fire.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the fuel tank cap with a corrected part. As a static electricity countermeasure, replace the tightening bolts on the under-seat storage box with corrected parts, add insulating covers to those bolts and the rear cargo bed, apply a resulting label, and reposition the dust seal on the under-seat storage box from the rear-facing to the front-facing orientation.

状況
燃料タンクキャップと給油口の寸法が不適切なため、燃料により給油口が膨潤することで燃料タンクキャップの締め付けが重くなり、適切に締め付けられなくなるものがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると給油口から燃料が漏れ、最悪の場合、静電気等により引火し、火災に至るおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、燃料タンクキャップを対策品に交換する。また、静電気対策として、座席下収納箱の締め付けボルトを対策品に交換し、そのボルトと後部荷台に絶縁カバーを追加し、コーションラベルを貼付するとともに、座席下収納箱の防塵部材の合せ位置を後側から前側へ変更する。
