Defect
In the fuel pump impeller (resin impeller wheel), improper molding conditions reduce resin density, allowing the impeller to absorb fuel and swell, causing deformation. The deformed impeller contacts the pump case, resulting in fuel pump malfunction. In the worst case, the engine may stall while driving.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the low-pressure fuel pump with the corrected part.

状況
燃料ポンプのインペラ（樹脂製羽根車）において、成形条件が不適切なため、樹脂密度が低くなって、燃料により膨潤して変形することがある。そのため、インペラがポンプケースと接触して燃料ポンプが作動不良となり、最悪の場合、走行中エンストに至るおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、低圧燃料ポンプを対策品と交換する。
