Defect
On plastic fuel tanks, an improper manufacturing process results in some units where the breather pipe is not correctly welded to the fuel tank. Vehicle vibration during use can cause the weld joint to separate. If the tank is then filled to capacity, fuel may leak from the detached weld area.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the fuel tank; if the breather pipe weld is found to be defective, replace the fuel tank with a non-defective unit.

改善措置
全車両、燃料タンクを点検し、ブリーザパイプの溶着が不適切な場合、燃料タンクを良品に交換する。
