Hazard

The battery storage box drain hole is positioned improperly, allowing rainwater that enters the box to wash away acidic residue from the battery's vent opening (deposited during manufacturing) and drip through the drain hole onto the fuel pump discharge pipe, potentially causing cracks in the piping. Continued use may result in fuel leakage from the cracked section.

バッテリ収納箱の水抜き穴の位置が不適切なため、収納箱に浸入した雨水等が、バッテリ製造時にバッテリの排気口に付着した酸性分を洗い流し、水抜き穴から燃料ポンプの吐出配管に滴下し配管に亀裂を生じるものがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると亀裂部から燃料が漏れるおそれがある。

Remedy

Replace the battery storage box on all vehicles with a countermeasure unit equipped with a drainage tube. Inspect the fuel pump discharge pipe for acidic residue; replace the entire fuel pump assembly with a new unit if residue is present. If no residue is found, inspect the fuel pump discharge pipe and replace the entire fuel pump assembly with a new unit if cracks are detected.
