Hazard
In the engine compartment, improper installation of the rubber seal to the bulkhead causes the seal to adhere to the inner surface of the hood when opened and separate from the bulkhead. If the hood is then closed with the seal in this condition, part of the rubber seal may fall between the engine and bulkhead, potentially contacting the high-temperature catalytic converter and causing fire.

エンジンルームにおいて、ラバーシールの隔壁への取付作業が不適切なため、エンジンフードを開けた際にフードの裏面に付着し、隔壁から外れるものがある。そのため、そのままフードを閉じると、ラバーシールの一部がエンジンと隔壁の間に落ちて、最悪の場合、高温になった触媒に接触して火災に至るおそれがある。
Remedy
All vehicles: add a retaining clamp to the bulkhead and reinstall the rubber seal.
