Hazard
The fuel-side diaphragm (a thin membrane reinforced with fiber) of the engine vacuum-operated fuel petcock has been manufactured using improper methods, resulting in some units with exposed reinforcement fibers on the surface. Continued use may allow fuel to permeate through the exposed fibers on the fuel side to the atmosphere side, potentially leaking from the vent hole.

原動機の負圧で開く燃料コックの燃料側ダイヤフラム（ゴムを繊維で補強した薄膜）の製造方法が不適切なため、表面に補強用繊維が露出するものがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、燃料側に露出した繊維を通じて燃料が大気側に浸透し、通気孔から外に漏れるおそれがある。
Remedy
Replace the cock cover assembly or vacuum-operated fuel petcock assembly with corrective parts on all vehicles.
