Defect

The headlamp socket wiring method is improper. When wiring is restowed after a headlamp bulb replacement, the socket bulb contacts may develop a poor connection on some vehicles. This causes arc discharge at the contact area, which may damage part of the wiring insulation. Continued use may result in a short circuit and headlamp failure and, in the worst case, vehicle fire.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, replace the socket assembly and headlamp plate with corrected parts, add a clamp to the headlamp switch wiring, and install a new bulb. On vehicles equipped with a resistor wire, remove the resistor wire and convert to standard wiring.

状況

前照灯ソケットにおいて、配線方法が不適切なため、前照灯バルブ交換後の配線を再収納した際に、ソケットバルブの接点が接触不良となるものがある。そのため、当該接点部にアーク放電が発生し、配線被覆の一部が損傷するものがあり、そのまま使用を続けると、ショートし、前照灯が不灯となり、最悪の場合、火災に至るおそれがある。

改善措置

全車両、ソケット一式とヘッドランププレートを対策品に交換するとともに、前照灯のスイッチ配線にクランプを追加し、バルブを新品に交換する。また、レジスタワイヤ装着車については、レジスタワイヤを取り外し、通常の配線に変更する。
