Issue
The fuel tray on the fuel tank is incorrectly shaped, allowing rainwater and other moisture entering through the floor to accumulate in the fuel tray while the vehicle is parked on a rearward slope, and subsequently intrude into the fuel tank. If the fuel pump draws in this water, the engine may fail to start. Additionally, the intruding water causes the bottom of the fuel tank to rust. Continued use allows the rust to progress and, in the worst case, results in a fuel leak.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, clean the fuel tray drain tube and reposition it, replace the fuel tray with a corrected part, and replace the fuel tank, fuel pump, injectors, and fuel hose with new parts.

状況
燃料タンクのフューエルトレイの形状が不適切なため、後ろ傾斜地で駐車中にフロアから入った雨水等がフューエルトレイに溜まり、燃料タンク内に侵入することがある。そのため、燃料ポンプが水を吸い込むとエンジンが始動できないおそれがある。また、侵入した水の影響により、燃料タンク底部が錆び、そのままの状態で使用を続けると錆が進行し、最悪の場合、燃料が漏れるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、フューエルトレイドレンチューブを清掃し、取付位置を変更するとともに、フューエルトレイを対策品に交換する。また、燃料タンク、燃料ポンプ、インジェクタ、燃料ホースを新品に交換する。
