Requirements breached

The gasket seal for the engine's chain tensioner may display incorrect settling behaviour. Over time, this may result in the chain tensioner detaching from the threaded hole on the cylinder head and the leakage of engine oil. The loss of large amounts of engine oil may contaminate the road, leading to a possible hazard for traffic following behind.
