Issue

The fuel tank mounting position is incorrect, allowing road debris to strike the front face of the fuel tank during high-speed driving. If the debris has a sharp protrusion, it may puncture the tank and, in the worst case, damage the fuel tank and cause a fuel leak. Note: the affected tank meets applicable fuel tank technical standards.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, install an additional protective cover on the front face of the fuel tank.

状況

燃料タンクの取付位置が不適切なため、高速走行中に、路上の落下物が燃料タンク前面に衝突することがある。そのため、落下物に突起があった場合、タンクに刺さり、最悪の場合、燃料タンクが損傷し、燃料が漏れるおそれがある。なお、当該タンクは、燃料タンクの技術基準に適合している。

改善措置

全車両、燃料タンク前面にプロテクタを追加して取り付ける。
