Filing in context
The Fuel hose/pipe is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 26 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 21 Toyota notifications from 2010 in this archive. For scale, 4,005 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 months.
Defect
On LPG-powered engine forklifts, improper bending during the manufacture of the LPG pipe causes wrinkles to form at the bent section. Continued use allows engine vibration to damage the LPG pipe, resulting in an LPG leak. In the worst case, this may lead to a vehicle fire.
Corrective action
Replace the LPG pipe on all affected vehicles with a non-defective unit.
