Issue
On LPG vehicles equipped with a manual transmission, the fuel delivery setting of the vaporizer (LPG fuel vaporization unit) is incorrect. During a sharp left turn, if the driver releases the accelerator and disengages the clutch, the fuel supply may be insufficient. In the worst case, the engine may stall while the clutch remains disengaged, increasing steering effort. Re-engaging the clutch recovers the engine and returns the vehicle to normal operation.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the vaporizer identification marking. If an uncorrected unit is installed, replace it with a corrected part.

状況
液化石油ガス（ＬＰＧ）自動車の手動変速機付車において、燃料装置のベーパライザ（Ｌ ＰＧ気化装置）の燃料供給量の設定が不適切なため、左急旋回時にアクセルを放しクラッ チの接続を切った場合、燃料供給量が不足することがある。そのため、最悪の場合、クラ ッチの接続を切っている間エンストし、ハンドルの操作力が増大するおそれがある。なお 、クラッチを接続することによりエンストは回復し、通常状態に復帰する。
改善措置
全車両、ベーパライザの識別を点検し、未対策品が装着されているものは対策品と交換す る。
