Hazard
Fuel tanks manufactured beyond design specifications were installed, resulting in excessive clearance between the fuel tank upper surface and vehicle body in some cases. Abnormal deformation may occur due to pressure fluctuations inside the fuel tank. Continued use in this condition may cause cracks to develop on the upper portion of the fuel tank, potentially resulting in fuel leakage when the tank is filled to capacity.

設計指示値を超えて製造された燃料タンクを組み付けたため、燃料タンク上面と車体との隙間が規定値より大きくなるものがあり、燃料タンク内の圧力の変化により異常に変形するものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、燃料タンク上部に亀裂が発生し、最悪の場合、燃料を満タンにすると燃料が漏れるおそれがある。
Remedy
Replace the fuel tank with a corrective part on all vehicles and adjust the clearance between the vehicle body floor to within specification.
