For scale, 2,636 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 2 years and 8 months.
Defect
An improperly designed electrical circuit for the tail lamps, front fog lamps, and shoulder lamps causes excessive current to flow through the tail lamp relay, generating heat at the relay contacts. This heat deforms the plastic and connector sections of the relay. Continued operation may cause a contact fault, resulting in the tail lamps and other lighting failing to illuminate.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, reroute the fog lamp electrical circuit wiring, and replace the tail lamp relay and relay socket with new parts.

状況
尾灯（テールランプ）、前部霧灯（フォグランプ）及び路肩灯の電気回路が不適切なため、テールランプリレーを流れる電流値が大きく、リレーの接点が発熱することがある。そのため、当該部品の樹脂部及びコネクタ部が変形し、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、接触不良を起こし、尾灯などが点灯しなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、フォグランプの電気回路の配線を変更するとともに、テールランプリレーとリレーソケットを新品に交換する。
