Defect
On vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission, the meter panel circuit board is improperly designed. Repeated thermal expansion of the board caused by temperature increases inside the instrument cluster causes cracks to develop at resistor solder joints. As the cracks progress, the panel stops updating shift position information when the driver changes gears. In the worst case, forward/reverse switching may become impossible and the vehicle may move in the direction opposite to the selected shift position.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the meter panel with a corrected part.

状況
自動変速機付車において、メーターパネルの基板が不適切なため、メーター内部の温度上昇による基板の熱膨張の繰返しにより、抵抗半田部に亀裂が生じるものがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、亀裂が進行し、シフトチェンジしてもパネル内のシフト位置情報が更新されなくなり、最悪の場合、前後進の切り替えができず、シフト位置と逆方向に走行するおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、メーターパネルを対策品と交換する。
