Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1110470 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | March 4, 2004 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Isuzu |
| Component | Wiring |
| Production period | June 29, 2000 — December 19, 2003 |
| Vehicles affected | 625 units |
Defect
The connectors used in the wiring between the battery, the power relay, and the turn signals are not waterproof. Road de-icing agents and similar substances can enter the connectors and corrode the terminals, increasing electrical resistance and reducing the voltage supplied to the power relay. When the turn signals are activated, the resulting voltage drop may cause the power relay to stop functioning and the engine to stall. Continued use can progress to a broken wire at the terminal, causing the power relay to fail permanently, stalling the engine and preventing restart.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, remove the affected wiring connectors, convert to direct wiring connections, and apply waterproofing treatment.

状況
バッテリから電源リレー及び方向指示器等への配線に使用しているコネクタが防水構造 となっていないため、コネクタ内部に融雪剤等が浸入し、端子部が腐食するものがある。 そのため、当該端子部の電気抵抗が大きくなり、電源リレーへの供給電圧が低下し、方向 指示器を作動させた際に、当該電源リレーが作動しなくなりエンジンが停止するおそれが ある。また、そのまま使用を続けると、最悪の場合、当該端子部が断線して電源リレーが 作動しなくなり、エンジンが停止し再始動ができなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、当該配線コネクタを除去して、直結接続に変更し、防水処理を行う。
