Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1123111 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | May 25, 2009 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Suzuki |
| Component | Wiring |
| Production period | January 2007 — September 30, 2008 |
| Vehicles affected | 105,718 units |
Defect
An improper combination of contact structure and grease inside the brake light switch allows arcing to generate insulating deposits on the contact surfaces. Continued use causes electrical resistance at the contacts to increase, resulting in poor conductivity. In the worst case, the brake lights may fail to illuminate.
Corrective action
Replace the brake light switch on all vehicles with a corrected part.

状況
制動灯スイッチ内部の接点構造とグリスの組み合わせが不適切なため、アークにより接点部に絶縁物が生成されることがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、当該接点部の電気抵抗が増大して導通不良となり、制動灯が点灯しなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、制動灯スイッチを対策品と交換する。
