Jeep Road Hopper 2009–2012

Hazard

In proto-brand two-wheeled vehicles equipped with electronic fuel injection systems, the rubber material of the fuel hose is inappropriate, and insufficient consideration of design variation in the crimped components (sockets) has resulted in improper assembly of the fuel hose and joint sections. As the rubber material degradation reduces elasticity in this condition, the crimping loosens, causing fuel leakage, which in the worst case may lead to vehicle fire.

プロト製二輪車の電子制御燃料噴射装置仕様車において、燃料ホースのゴムの材質が不適切であるとともに、カシメ部品(ソケット)の設計時のバラツキの考慮が不十分なため燃料ホースとジョイント部が適切に組み付けられていないものがある。 この状態でゴムの材質不適切により弾力性が低下するとカシメが緩むため、燃料が漏れ、最悪の場合、車両火災に至るおそれがある。

Remedy

Replace the fuel hose assembly on all vehicles with corrective parts.
