Defect
On plastic fuel tanks, the fuel evaporative gas hose material and the surface finish of the pressure relief valve are incorrect, causing the pressure relief valve to stick on some units. Continued operation allows the fuel tank to develop negative pressure and deform, tilting the fuel level gauge. As a result, the fuel gauge reads higher than the actual fuel level, the low-fuel warning light does not illuminate, and the engine may stall due to unexpected fuel exhaustion.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the fuel evaporative gas hose and ventilation line with corrected parts.

状況
樹脂製燃料タンクにおいて、燃料蒸発ガスホースの材料及び圧力調整弁の表面粗さが不適切なため、圧力調整弁が固着するものがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、燃料タンクが負圧になり変形することで、燃料レベルゲージが傾き、燃料計が実際の燃料残量より多く指示するため、燃料残量警告灯が点灯することなく予期せぬ燃料切れとなり、エンストするおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、燃料蒸発ガスホースと通気配管を対策品に交換する。
