Hazard

The engine intake air duct is made of inappropriate material, causing it to shrink due to engine heat and loosen the fastening at the resonator (intake noise suppression device) connection. Continued use may result in the air duct detaching due to driving vibration, leading to unstable idling and poor acceleration. In the worst case, engine stall may occur with inability to restart.

原動機の吸気エアダクトの材質が不適切なため、当該ダクトがエンジンの熱により収縮し、レゾネータ(吸気騒音防止装置)接続部の締付けが緩むことがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、走行振動等によりエアダクトが外れてアイドリング不安定や加速不良となり、最悪の場合、エンストして再始動できなくなるおそれがある。

Remedy

Replace the engine-side air duct and fastening bracket with corrected parts on all vehicles.
