Issue

The fuel tray drain tube routing and fuel tray shape are improperly designed, allowing sand and debris to clog the fuel tray drain tube. As a result, water from rain driving or car washing may enter the fuel tank. If the fuel pump draws in this water, engine malfunction may occur. Additionally, the intruding water causes rust to form at the bottom of the fuel tank. Continued use allows the rust to progress and, in the worst case, fuel may leak.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, the fuel tray shape is corrected, the fuel lid or step floor is replaced with a corrected part, and the fuel tray drain tube is removed. The interior of the fuel tank is then inspected; if water intrusion is confirmed, the fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel injectors, and fuel hose are replaced with new parts.

状況

燃料タンクのフューエルトレイドレンチューブの配索及びフューエルトレイの形状が不適切なため、砂等によりフューエルトレイドレンチューブが詰まり、雨天走行や洗車時の水が燃料タンク内に浸入することがある。そのため、燃料ポンプが水を吸い込むとエンジン不調となるおそれがある。また、浸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、フューエルトレイの形状を修正するとともに、フューエルリッドまたはステップフロアを対策品に交換し、フューエルトレイドレンチューブを取り外す。また、燃料タンク内を点検し、水が浸入している場合は、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。
