Defect
The protective resin sheet installed around the wire harness bundled inside the C-shaped chassis frame at the front of the engine compartment was improperly mounted on certain vehicles. During the wiring assembly process, this allowed portions of the wire insulation to be damaged. Continued use may cause a short circuit in the affected wiring, blowing the associated fuse. As a result, headlights, turn signals, and other lamps may stop functioning, or the engine may become unable to start.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, install a protective rubber sheet around the wire harness. Inspect the wire insulation for damage: repair any damaged insulation, and replace wiring with damaged conductor cores with new parts.
