Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1140250 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | April 24, 2017 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Daihatsu |
| Component | Fuel Tank |
| Production period | December 2013 — June 29, 2015 |
| Vehicles affected | 58 units |
Defect
On camping conversion vehicles, the fuel tank was relocated using an improper method, leaving insufficient clearance between the fuel pipe cover and the leaf spring. During rough-road driving, the cover and spring may contact each other. Continued use under these conditions can cause a crack to develop at the base of the fuel pipe, and in the worst case, fuel may leak from the cracked area.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, remove the relocation spacers and modify the fuel filler opening in the side skirt to install a revised fuel lid. Inspect the fuel tank and, if damaged, replace it with a new unit.

状況
キャンピング架装車の燃料装置において、燃料タンクの移設方法が不適切なため、燃料パイプカバーとリーフスプリングの隙間が狭くなり、当該カバーとスプリングが悪路走行時等に接触することがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、燃料パイプ付け根部に亀裂が生じ、最悪の場合、亀裂部位から燃料が漏れるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、移設用スペーサを取り外し、サイドスカートの給油口開口部を加工してヒューエルリッドを変更する。また、燃料タンクを点検し、損傷している場合は、新品と交換する。
