Defect
The ignition switch contact structure is inadequate. In vehicles subjected to an extremely high frequency of switch operation, wear debris generated during use accumulates near the contacts and creates an unintended electrical connection. Continued operation in this condition causes the starter motor to run continuously while the switch contacts overheat, generating an abnormal odor and smoke from the accumulated debris. In the worst case, a vehicle fire may occur.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the ignition switch with a corrected part.

状況
イグニッションスイッチの接点の構造が不適切なため、スイッチの使用頻度が極めて高い場合、作動時に発生する摩耗粉が接点付近に溜まって導通するものがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、スタータモータが回転し続けるととともに、スイッチの接点が発熱し、摩耗粉から異臭、煙が発生し、最悪の場合、火災に至るおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、イグニッションスイッチを対策品と交換する。
