Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1148430 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | November 12, 2020 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Hino |
| Component | Fuel Injection System |
| Production period | November 24, 2011 — November 2015 |
| Vehicles affected | 658 units |
Defect
On medium-duty buses, the specified tightening torque for the injector mounting bolts in the fuel injection system is incorrect, leaving the injector gasket with insufficient sealing performance on some units. Combustion gas leaks past the gasket, causing the injector mounting bolts to loosen. Increased vibration then causes the bolts to fracture, which stalls the engine and renders the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the gasket with the corrected part and tighten to the specified torque. If any fuel injection system components are found to be damaged, replace those parts with new ones.

状況
中型バスの燃料噴射装置において、インジェクタ取付ボルトの締付トルク指示が不適切なため、インジェクタガスケットのシール性が不足しているものがある。そのため、燃焼ガスが漏れてインジェクタ取付ボルトが緩み、振動が大きくなって当該ボルトが折損し、エンジンが停止して走行できなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、ガスケットを対策品に交換し、適正トルクで締め付ける。なお、燃料噴射装置が損傷している場合は損傷部品を新品に交換する。
