Filing in context
The Wiring is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 236 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 17 Honda notifications from 2003 in this archive. For scale, 2,462 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 5 months.
Defect
The method used to protect the vehicle body wiring is inadequate. During wiring assembly, the insulation on some harnesses was damaged by contact with the cut edges of pipe frame members. Continued use in this condition allows driving vibration to bring the damaged wiring into contact with the body, causing a short circuit. The resulting blown fuse may cause the engine to stall suddenly, the brake lights to stop illuminating, or other portions of the electrical system to become inoperative.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, dress and smooth the cut edges of the pipe frame members. Inspect the affected wiring on all vehicles; replace any harness with damaged insulation with a corrected wiring assembly. Where insulation is undamaged, add a protective tube.

状況
車体に取付けている電気配線の保護方法が不適切なため、電気配線組み付け作業時に車 体溶接部の端面（パイプフレーム加工端面）で配線の被覆を損傷させたものがあり、その 状態で使用を続けると、走行時の振動等で車体と接触して電気回路が短絡すると、ヒュー ズが切れて原動機が突然停止したり制動灯が点灯しなくなる等電気系統の一部が作動しな くなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、パイプフレーム加工端面の修正をおこなう。 全車両、当該電気配線を点検し、配線の被覆に損傷のあるものは対策品の電気配線と交 換する。また、被覆に損傷のないものは保護チューブを追加する。
