Defect
Inadequate foreign-material controls during fuel tank manufacturing allows weld-generated oxides inside the tank to accumulate on the fuel pump suction filter. This clogs the filter, causing engine malfunction. In the worst case, the engine may stall during driving.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, drain all fuel from the tank to remove the oxides, then replace the fuel pump suction filter, fuel filter, and chamber with new parts.

状況
燃料タンク製造時の異物管理方法が不適切なため、溶接時にタンク内部に生成された酸化物が燃料ポンプのサクションフィルタに吸着するものがある。そのため、当該フィルタが詰まり、エンジン不調となり、最悪の場合、走行中にエンストするおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、燃料タンク内の酸化物を除くためガソリンを全て抜き、燃料ポンプのサクションフィルタ及びフューエルフィルタ、チャンバを新品と交換する。
