Certain vehicles may have been built with incorrect routing of the fuel line which runs from the fuel filter outlet to the engine fuel pump. This fuel line can potentially rub on the plastic conduit of the main cab power harness causing it to blow the main power fuse and potentially stopping the engine. To rectify this concern, the nominated fuel line will be relocated away from this area. 273 vehicles could possibly be affected by this concern.

After investigation it was found that due to poor fitment of the oil seal (Gap between the oil seal and needles in the bearing cap) there were some bearing caps where it is possible that a needle could have dropped out during transportation from the supplier in US to the assembly plant Japan. Also a lack of grease applied between the cross pin and the bearing cap was identified. If a vehicle is operated under such conditions, the cross pins may seize in a short period of time. In the worst case scenario the driveshaft universal joint could fail allowing the driveshaft to become disconnected and disable the vehicle.
