Defect
On the blow-by gas hose that routes crankcase gases from the generator engine to the intake manifold, insufficient evaluation during development resulted in a protective cover that is undersized. The unprotected section of the hose surface develops cracks during service. In the worst case, the engine may fail to start, or the drive motor may stop while the vehicle is in motion, rendering the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the blow-by gas hose with the corrected part featuring an extended protective cover.

状況
発電用エンジンのブローバイガスを吸気管に導くブローバイホースにおいて、開発時の評価が不十分なため、ホース表面の劣化を防止するプロテクタの寸法が不足している。 このため、使用過程においてプロテクタで覆われていない部位のホース表面に亀裂が発生し、最悪の場合、エンジンが始動せず、走行中にモーターが停止し、走行できなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、当該ブローバイホースを対策品（プロテクタ延長品）と交換します。
