|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | May 31, 2010 |

| Production period | August 25, 2009 — February 19, 2010 |
| Vehicles affected | 10,441 units |
Defect
The switch case of the rear-wheel brake light switch is improperly molded, allowing the internal movable contact to travel beyond its operating range and fail to return. This may cause the brake light to remain continuously illuminated. Continued use in this condition may cause the brake light bulb socket to melt, creating a continuity fault and causing the brake light to stop illuminating entirely.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the brake light illumination status. If the light is continuously on or fails to illuminate, replace the rear brake light switch with a non-defective part and replace the bulb socket and bulb with new parts. In all other cases, replace the brake light switch with a non-defective part.

状況
後輪用制動灯スイッチのスイッチケースの成型が不適切なため、内部の可動接点が作動領域を超えて戻らなくなり、制動灯が常灯となるおそれがある。また、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、制動灯の電球ソケットが溶損して導通不良となり、点灯しなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、制動灯の点灯状態を点検し、常時点灯または点灯しない場合は、後輪用制動灯スイッチを良品と交換するとともに、制動灯の電球ソケットおよび電球を新品と交換する。それ以外の場合は、制動灯スイッチを良品と交換する。
