Hazard
Improper welding of the reservoir cup inside the fuel tank has resulted in some cups being welded in reverse orientation. This causes insufficient fuel supply during uphill driving or acceleration when fuel level is low, resulting in engine malfunction. In the worst case, engine stall may occur while driving.

Remedy
All vehicles will have the welding condition of the reservoir cup inside the fuel tank inspected. Any fuel tanks with improper welding position will be replaced with a complete fuel tank assembly in good condition.
