The problem
Daihatsu is recalling certain model year 1990-1992 rocky sport utility vehicles. The check valve in the fuel vapor evaporative emission control system might develop a crack in long-term vehicle usage due to insufficient durability under some environmental or operational circumstances.
The risk
A leak of fuel evaporative gas vapor into the vehicle cabin may occur, potentially resulting in a fire.
The fix
Daihatsu will have the old check valve replaced with a new check valve of improved construction. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on march 31, 2010.
