Defect
On forklifts, the fuel pipe geometry is improper. Driving vibration may cause cracks to develop at the weld joint of the mounting stay. If the forklift continues to be used in this condition, the crack can propagate and cause a fuel leak. In the worst case, the engine may stall and be unable to restart.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the fuel pipe with the corrected part and secure it with a clamp.
