Defect
Assembly instructions for the fuel tank breather hose were inadequate, causing some hoses to be installed in a kinked condition. The kinked hose blocks airflow, preventing pressure regulation inside the fuel tank and causing the tank to deform. In the worst case, the fuel tank may be damaged and leak fuel.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the breather hose for blockage. If blocked, replace both the fuel tank and the breather hose. If not blocked, replace the breather hose with a new unit.

状況
燃料タンクにおいて、ブリーザホースの組付けの作業指示が不適切なため、ホースが屈曲して組付けられているものがある。そのため、ホースが閉塞し、燃料タンクの内圧調整ができず変形して、最悪の場合、燃料タンクが損傷して燃料が漏れるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、ブリーザホースの閉塞の有無を点検し、閉塞しているものは燃料タンクとブリーザホースを交換する。また、閉塞していないものは、ブリーザホースを新品に交換する。
