Filing in context
The Evaporative Emission Control System is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 3 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 3 Daihatsu notifications from 2009 in this archive. For scale, 1,479 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 6 years and 10 months.
Defect
The check valve in the evaporative emission control system lacks sufficient durability, and extended use may cause a crack to develop in the valve. Continued use may allow fuel vapor to leak into the passenger compartment and, in the worst case, be ignited by an open flame such as a lighter, resulting in a vehicle fire.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the affected check valve with a corrected part. Because parts supply will require additional time, as an interim measure all vehicles will have the check valve reinforced until the corrected part becomes available, at which point the reinforced valve will be replaced. Owners will also be notified to ensure the affected component is inspected during scheduled maintenance.

状況
燃料蒸発ガス排出抑止装置のチェックバルブの耐久性が不十分なため、長期間使用すると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、最悪の場合、燃料蒸発ガスが車室内に漏れ、ライター等の火が引火して火災に至るおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、当該チェックバルブを対策品と交換する。なお、部品の供給に時間を要することから、部品が供給できるまでの暫定措置として、全車両、当該チェックバルブを補強し、後日対策品に交換する。また、定期点検整備において、確実に当該部位を点検するよう注意喚起する。
