| MLIT filing number | 1138450 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | July 1, 2016 |

| Vehicles affected | 175 units |
Defect
On vehicles converted to dual natural gas/gasoline fuel operation, the floor panel at the fuel tank (gas cylinder) mounting point was designed with insufficient structural strength. This allows cracks to form in the floor panel. Continued use causes the cracks to propagate and, in the worst case, the floor panel may fracture and the fuel tank may detach from the vehicle.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, the components securing the tank bracket to the floor panel are replaced with corrected parts. Floor panels found to have cracks are also repaired.

状況
天然ガス／ガソリン併用仕様に改造した車両のフロアパネルにおいて、燃料タンク（ガス容器）取付部の強度検討が不足していたため、当該フロアパネルに亀裂が発生するものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、亀裂が進展し、最悪の場合、フロアパネルが割れて燃料タンクが脱落するおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、燃料タンクブラケットを固定する部品を対策品に交換する。また、フロアパネルに亀裂が発生しているもについてはフロアパネルを補修する。
