Defect
On hybrid vehicles, the metal protective cover of the DC-DC converter has insufficient strength. When a passenger applies load to the rear seatback, the cover flexes and may contact the insulating rubber caps on the electrical wiring terminals. Continued use may damage the insulating rubber caps and, in the worst case, cause a short circuit between the wiring terminals and the cover. This may blow the main fuse, causing the engine to stall and preventing restart.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, add a bracket and resin cover to the electrical wiring terminal area to prevent contact with the protective cover.

状況
ハイブリッド車において、電圧変換装置（ＤＣ－ＤＣコンバータ）の金属製の保護蓋の強度が不足しているため、後部シートの背もたれに乗員の荷重がかかると保護蓋がたわみ、保護蓋と電気配線端子の絶縁ゴムキャップが干渉するものがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、絶縁ゴムキャップが損傷し、最悪の場合、電気配線端子と保護蓋が短絡することがあり、メインヒューズが切れてエンジンが停止し、再始動できなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、電気配線端子部に保護蓋との干渉を防止するステーと樹脂カバーを追加する。
