An official CAA Japan notice concerns Passenger car (Citroën “C4 Cactus”) - Repair. Defects in the vehicle frame (bonnet striker) and fuel system (fuel pipe). ■ Defective parts: ① Vehicle frame (bonnet striker) ② Fuel system (fuel pipe). ■ Conditions and causes of the structure, equipment or performance considered noncompliant with standards: ① The bonnet striker support has an inappropriate shape, which may cause the support to crack due to air resistance or vehicle vibration while driving. Continued use may cause the support to break, preventing the bonnet from locking. In the worst case, the bonnet may open while driving. ② An incorrect installation procedure during fuel pipe routing may cause the fuel pipe to contact the fuel return pipe connector. Engine vibration may therefore damage the fuel pipe covering. In the worst case, a hole may develop in the fuel pipe and fuel may leak. Published 2018-06-29.
What to do now
(Recall) 外‐2680 ■ Corrective measures: ① Check the bonnet striker support on all vehicles and install a reinforcement plate on affected vehicles. If this area is damaged, replace the bonnet with a modified part. ② Inspect the fuel pipe routing on all vehicles and correct any improper routing. If the fuel pipe is damaged, replace it with a new one.
