Hazard

The sound-damping foam pad installed on the underside of the fuel tank has insufficient moisture validation. When water ingress occurs, the pad can remain damp for extended periods. If moisture becomes corrosive, corrosion may develop on the fuel tank, causing fuel leakage, which in worst cases could lead to fire.

燃料タンク下側に配設された防音振用フォームパッドにおいて、吸湿検証が不十分なため、水が浸入すると長期間湿気を帯びたままになることがある。そのため、湿気が腐食性を帯びている場合、燃料タンクに腐食が発生し燃料が漏れて、最悪の場合、火災に至るおそれがある。

Remedy

Remove the sound-damping foam pad from all vehicles. Inspect the fuel tank for corrosion and fuel leakage. If detected, replace the fuel tank with a new unit.
