Defect
On super-long specification vehicles with a seating capacity of 10, the jig used to weld the seat mounting brackets was not secured adequately during manufacturing, causing some brackets to be installed at an incorrect angle. When those brackets were straightened during the seat assembly process, the fuel tank located beneath the bracket was damaged on some vehicles. Continued use in this condition may, in the worst case, result in a fuel leak.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the fuel tank. Any tank found to be damaged must be replaced with a new unit.
