An official CAA Japan notice concerns Passenger cars (Fiat 600 and 2 other models) - Repair. Defects in the engine (belt-driven starter generator) and the device for preventing emissions of smoke, malodorous gases, harmful gases, etc. (gasoline particulate filter pipe). ■Defective parts (component names): Engine (belt-driven starter generator) and device for preventing emissions of smoke, malodorous gases, harmful gases, etc. (gasoline particulate filter pipe). ■Description and cause of the structure, equipment or performance considered noncompliant with standards: ①The electrode protective cap of the belt-driven starter generator (BSG) has insufficient insulation due to inadequate material evaluation. ②Due to inappropriate routing instructions for the gasoline particulate filter (GPF) pipe, some vehicles have insufficient clearance between the pipe and the BSG electrode protective cap. Consequently, electrical leakage from the protective cap to the GPF pipe can cause the BSG electrode protective cap and GPF pipe to overheat and become damaged. Continued use in this condition could, in the worst case, result in a fire. Published 2026-08-27.
What to do now
(Recall notification number) 外-4230. ■Corrective measures: ①On all vehicles, replace the BSG electrode protective cap with an improved part. ②On all vehicles, inspect the clearance between the BSG electrode protective cap and the GPF pipe. If clearance is insufficient, correct the routing of the GPF pipe. If the GPF pipe is damaged, replace it with a new one.
