Filing in context

For scale, 4,283 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 4 months.
Defect
On light trucks, the fuel line and starter wiring retaining brackets are improperly assembled, causing the fuel line and starter wiring to shift from their correct routing positions. This allows the starter wiring to contact surrounding components. Continued use in this condition may damage the wiring insulation, causing a short circuit that prevents the engine from starting.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, the retaining bracket mounting positions are inspected. If incorrectly assembled, the brackets are repositioned correctly, and both the fuel line and starter wiring are replaced with new parts.

状況
小型トラックにおいて、燃料配管の固定金具ならびにスタータ配線の固定金具の組み付け作業が不適切なため、燃料配管とスタータ配線の配索位置がずれて、スタータ配線が周辺部品と干渉するものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、当該配線の被覆が損傷して短絡し、エンジンが始動できなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、当該固定金具の組み付け位置を点検し、不適切な場合は正しい位置に組み付けるとともに、燃料配管およびスタータ配線を新品に交換する。
