In a report filed with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, the Japanese arm of DaimlerChrysler said it would fix a total of 2,118 Chrysler PT Cruisers imported between April 2000 and September 2001.


It said the vehicles may catch fire because improper installation of the fuel supply hose may cause the hose to crack, possibly leading to fuel dropping onto the exhaust pipe.


DaimlerChrysler Japan also said it would repair a total of 474 Mercedes Actros trucks imported between December 1997 and December 2000. Their engines may stall, as electric wires of the truck’s alternator may snap due to friction with the truck body, it said.


Suzuki said it would fix a total of 983 Swifts made between September 2000 and May 2002. The car may stall because its differential side bearing may break, causing oil leakage.
