For the charcoal canister where gas tank fuel vapors are trapped, structure of the protective cover for the vent hole in the air tank is improper. For this reason, water thrown by tyres in rainy driving conditions may be sucked, and it could cause rust on the check valve on the charcoal canister. If left unfixed, in the worst case, the check valve gets stuck preventing the fuel vapors from being drawn into the engine, and this could cause the fuel vapors to leak through the vent hole.
