Defect
The headlamp assembly has an improper structure that restricts heat dissipation. During operation, heat from the bulb and solar radiation causes the reflector to deform, tilting the bulb and shifting the optical axis. In the worst case, the solder at the socket melts, the lead wire pulls free, and the headlamp goes dark.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the headlamp and socket with corrected parts, and replace the bulb with a new unit.

状況
前照灯の灯火器の構造が不適切なため、放熱しにくい構造となっている。そのため、点灯時及び太陽光の熱により反射器が変形してバルブに傾きが生じ、光軸が変化することがあり、最悪の場合、ソケット部の半田が溶け、リード線が抜けて前照灯が不灯となるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、ヘッドランプ及びソケットを対策品に交換する。また、バルブを新品に交換する。
