The housing further includes an upper wall and a lower wall which are arranged at positions overlapping each other in the vertical direction of the vehicle body. The upper wall has an upper outer surface portion whose length in a front-rear direction is shorter than the length of a lower outer surface portion of the lower wall in the front-rear direction, as viewed in a cross-sectional view perpendicular to the vehicle width direction.
