An official CAA Japan notice concerns Passenger car (Ford Mustang) - Repair. Due to an exhaust pipe defect. ■ Defective part (component name): Exhaust pipe. ■ Description and cause of the structure, equipment or performance deemed noncompliant with standards: Because protection against heat damage from the exhaust pipe is inadequate, heat emitted by the exhaust pipe may reach the fuel tank, evaporative emission control system piping, parking brake fastening components and other parts, causing melting damage. Consequently, continued use in this condition may cause fuel or other substances to leak from the fuel tank or evaporative emission control system piping and, in the worst case, lead to a fire. In addition, the parking brake cable and other parts may no longer be secured, potentially preventing the parking brake from operating. Published 2016-05-20.
What to do now
(Recall) 外-2334 ■ Corrective measures: Inspect the fuel tank, evaporative emission control system and parking brake on all vehicles. Replace any components found to be abnormal with new ones and implement heat protection measures. Implement heat protection measures for components that are undamaged.
