Recall 1116270 — Turn Signal Lights

Filed February 23, 2006 · Mazda

Overview

MLIT filing number1116270
TypeStatutory Recall (government-mandated recall)
Date filedFebruary 23, 2006
Manufacturer(s)Mazda
ComponentTurn Signal Lights
Production periodJanuary 31, 2000 — January 20, 2006
Vehicles affected1,894 units

Defect

On van-body vehicles fitted with auxiliary turn signal lights, the added electrical load exceeds the thermal capacity of the relay terminals inside the combination turn signal/hazard flasher unit. Prolonged hazard lamp operation causes the solder joints at those terminals to reach high temperatures, and repeated thermal expansion and contraction generates cracks in the solder. In the worst case, both the turn signals and hazard lamps may fail to illuminate.

Corrective action

Replace the flasher unit on all vehicles with a corrected part.

状況

バン型車両に架装した車両において、補助方向指示器を増設したことから電気負荷が増大したため、方向指示器とハザードランプ兼用のフラッシャーユニット内部のリレー端子の熱容量が不足しているものがある。そのため、ハザードランプを長時間点灯すると当該端子の半田部が高温になり、熱膨張と収縮の繰り返しによって当該端子半田部に亀裂が発生し、最悪の場合、方向指示器とハザードランプが点灯しなくなるおそれがある。

改善措置

全車両、当該フラッシャーユニットを対策品と交換する。
