Hazard
(2) In the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) of diesel engine vehicles, exhaust gas temperature may become elevated during regeneration (combustion removal of collected particulate matter) following high-load operation such as high-speed driving. Consequently, if the vehicle is parked in a location where the area near the exhaust outlet is covered with grass or similar vegetation after high-load operation such as high-speed driving, and DPF regeneration occurs, vegetation behind the exhaust outlet may ignite and cause fire damage to the vehicle body and other components.

（２）ディーゼルエンジン車のＤＰＦ（ディーゼル粒子状物質除去装置）において、高速走行などの高負荷運転後の再生（捕集した粒子状物質の燃焼除去）時に、排気ガス温度が高い場合がある。そのため、高速走行などの高負荷運転後に、排気管出口付近が草などで覆われるような場所に停車してＤＰＦの再生を行なった場合、排気管後方の草などが発火し、車体などを焼損するおそれがある。
Remedy
(2) All vehicles: reprogram the engine control computer.
