Defect
On diesel engine-equipped vehicles, inadequate airflow directed to the manual transmission causes the transmission oil temperature to rise excessively. This accelerates chemical wear on the reverse light switch contact points, leading to poor contact and failure of the reverse lights to illuminate. Alternatively, conductive deposits may accumulate and cause a short circuit, disabling the reverse lights, instrument cluster, and warning lights.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the affected switch with a corrected part. On vehicles equipped with an under cover that lacks an air duct opening, also replace the under cover with a corrected part that includes the duct opening.

状況
ディーゼルエンジン搭載車両において、 ②手動変速機への導風が不十分なため、変速機内のオイルが高温となり、変速機内にある 後退灯スイッチの接点部が化学変化により摩耗が進行し、接触が不良となって後退灯が 点灯しなくなる、または、導電性の化合物が堆積して電気回路が短絡し、後退灯、計器 及び警告灯が作動しなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
②全車両、当該スイッチを対策品と交換する。また、導風口が付いていないアンダーカバ ー搭載車は、併せて導風口付アンダーカバーと交換する。
