This filing is one of 19 Honda notifications from 2010 in this archive.

Defect
The rear-wheel brake light switch has an inadequate waterproofing design. Heat radiated from the catalytic converter raises the switch to high temperature; when the switch is then exposed to water and cools rapidly, moisture is drawn in through the switch cover. This causes the contacts to rust and lose continuity. As a result, the brake light may fail to illuminate when the rear brakes are applied.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the rear-wheel brake light switch with a corrected part.

状況
後輪用制動灯スイッチの防水構造が不適切なため、触媒コンバータからの被熱によりスイッチが高温となり、被水して冷やされるとスイッチカバー部から吸水し、接点が錆びて導通不良となるものがある。そのため、後輪制動時に制動灯が点灯しなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、後輪用制動灯スイッチを対策品と交換する。
