| MLIT filing number | 1119351 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | September 6, 2007 |

| Component | Brake Lights |
| Production period | August 17, 2005 — January 10, 2007 |
| Vehicles affected | 63,099 units |
Defect
Excessive lubricant was applied to the telescopic mechanism of the steering column—the mechanism that allows the steering wheel position to be adjusted forward and rearward. Oil from the lubricant drips onto the brake light switch. Heat generated at the switch contacts causes insulating deposits to form, resulting in contact failure. As a result, the brake lights and auxiliary brake lights may fail to illuminate, and the shift lever may become unable to move out of the Park position.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the brake light switch assembly and the wiring-side connector with new parts, clean the wiring-side terminals, and add a brake light switch cover.

状況
かじ取り装置のテレスコピック機構（ハンドルの位置を前後にスライドして調整できる機構）に塗布する潤滑剤の量が多過ぎたため、潤滑剤の油分が制動灯スイッチに滴下するものがある。そのため、スイッチ接点部の発熱により当該接点部に絶縁物が生成されて導通不良となることから、制動灯及び補助制動灯が点灯しなくなり、シフトレバーがパーキング位置から動かなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、制動灯スイッチ一式と電気配線側コネクタを新品と交換するとともに、電気配線側端子を清掃し、制動灯スイッチカバーを追加する。
