Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1120050 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | November 28, 2007 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Lexus, Toyota |
| Component | Fuel Hose / Pipe |
| Production period | December 15, 2003 — December 16, 2005 |
| Vehicles affected | 215,020 units |
Defect
In the engine fuel system, the bend position of the fuel pipe relative to the pipe material weld is improper, causing elevated stress at the weld joint. Trace corrosive components present in the fuel act on the stressed weld, allowing micro-cracks to form. Continued use allows fuel pressure cycling to propagate the cracks until, in the worst case, fuel leaks from the pipe.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the affected fuel pipe with a corrected part.

状況
エンジンの燃料装置において、燃料パイプのパイプ材溶接部に対する曲げ位置が不適切なため、溶接部の応力が高くなり燃料中の微量な腐食成分が作用して微小な亀裂が発生することがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、燃料の圧力変動によりパイプの亀裂が進行し、最悪の場合、燃料が漏れるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、当該パイプを対策品と交換する。
