Forza MF08 - What kind of recall information is there?

Recall information for the second-generation Forza MF08 has been published twice.

 

　The first recall was due to improper oil injection during the manufacturing process, so the presence or absence of transmission oil must be checked, and if oil is not injected, the entire engine must be replaced with a new one.

Model: BA-MF08 Engine

　The second recall was due to an inappropriate material for the plastic impeller (the impeller that delivers fuel) inside the fuel pump, which poses the risk of the fuel pump not starting and the engine not being able to start.

 

　As a result, the entire fuel pump must be replaced with a countermeasure.

Measures to inform vehicle users and vehicle disassembly and maintenance businesses

 

●Users: Notify by direct mail.
●Vehicle disassembly and maintenance businesses: Publish in the journal published by the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association.

What is the range of chassis numbers and production period of the target vehicles?

(Overall range of production period)
November 16, 2004 to November 19, 2004

What is the second problem (part name)?
　The plastic impeller inside the fuel pump is made of inappropriate material, so the impeller may swell with fuel and interfere with the inside.

 

　Therefore, there is a risk that the engine will not be able to start. Therefore, the entire fuel pump will be replaced with a countermeasure product and users will be notified by direct mail to inform them.
