|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | March 1, 2007 |

| Vehicles affected | 362 units |
Defect
On police vehicles, the plastic bands securing the battery cable have insufficient heat resistance. Heat within the engine compartment can cause the bands to break, allowing the battery cable to sag and contact the exhaust manifold heat shield. In the worst case, the cable insulation may melt, causing a short circuit and vehicle fire.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the plastic bands with corrected parts and add metal retaining brackets to secure the battery cable to the body. If the battery cable insulation shows damage, repair it by wrapping the affected area with insulating tape.

状況
警察車両において、バッテリーケーブルを固定する樹脂バンドの耐熱性が不足しているため、原動機室内の熱影響により、当該バンドが破損することがある。そのため、バッテリーケーブルが垂れ下がり、排気マニホールドの遮熱板と干渉し、最悪の場合、当該ケーブルの被覆が溶け、短絡して火災に至るおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、当該樹脂バンドを対策品と交換し、金属固定金具を追加してバッテリーケーブルを車体へ固定する。また、バッテリーケーブルの被覆に損傷が認められる場合は、バッテリーケーブルに絶縁テープを巻いて補修する。
