Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1113500 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | February 2, 2005 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Honda |
| Component | Brake Lights |
| Production period | June 2004 — December 23, 2004 |
| Vehicles affected | 93,262 units |
Defect
During vehicle manufacturing, an improper lubricant was applied to the contact points of the brake light switch. Heat generated by repeated contact cycling oxidizes the lubricant residue, increasing contact resistance at the switch terminals. When the electrical load on the contacts is low, the switch may fail to conduct, causing the brake lights to stop illuminating.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the brake light switch with the corrected part.

状況
車両製作工程で制動灯スイッチの接点部に不適切な潤滑剤が付着したため、接点の断続の際に発生する熱により潤滑剤成分が酸化し、当該接点部の接触抵抗が増大するものがある。そのため、接点にはたらく電気負荷が小さいと、当該スイッチが導通不良となり、制動灯が点灯しなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、制動灯スイッチを対策品に交換する。
