Defect

The electrical circuit from the generator to the carburetor heater—which warms the carburetor in low ambient temperatures—is improperly designed, causing excessive voltage to be applied to the carburetor heater when it operates. This causes the interior of the carburetor heater to overheat and short circuit, grounding the generator's current through the carburetor heater. As a result, current supply from the generator to the headlamps and other lights is interrupted, and the headlamps may go out.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, add a lead wire and a clamp to secure the lead wire to the wiring harness, modify the electrical circuit from the generator to the carburetor heater, and replace the carburetor heater with a new unit.

状況

発電機からキャブレータヒータ(外気温が低い時にキャブレータを温めるもの)への電気 回路が不適切なため、キャブレータヒータが作動した場合、キャブレータヒータに過大な 電圧がかかる。そのため、キャブレータヒータの内部が高温となり短絡し、発電機からの 電流が当該キャブレータヒータを経由してアースし、発電機からヘッドランプ等への電流 の供給が無くなり、ヘッドランプ等が消灯するおそれがある。

改善措置

全車両、ワイヤリングハーネスにリード線とリード線を固定するクランプを追加し、発電 機からキャブレータヒータへの電気回路を変更するとともに、キャブレータヒータを新品 に交換する。
