| MLIT filing number | 1128060 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | September 5, 2011 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Honda |
| Component | Other (Electrical Equipment) |
| Production period | October 2005 — October 2007 |
| Vehicles affected | 203,777 units |
Defect
The switch unit structure and resin material of the driver's side power window switch are improper. If silicone compounds found in interior cleaning products adhere to the switch contacts and the switch is operated repeatedly in this condition, wear debris from the contacts accumulates in the gap between the power supply and ground sections of the switch, generating heat. This causes the switch unit resin to carbonize and allows current to leak continuously. The solder within the switch unit may then melt, drip onto the outer cover, and produce smoke. In the worst case, the cover may catch fire.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the complete driver's side power window switch assembly with a corrected part.

状況
運転席側パワーウインドウスイッチのスイッチユニットの構造及び樹脂材が不適切なため、車内清掃用品等に含まれるシリコン成分がスイッチ接点部に付着した状態でのスイッチ操作を繰返すと、接点の磨耗粉がスイッチの電源部とアース部の隙間に堆積して発熱し、スイッチユニットの樹脂材が炭化して電流がリークし続けるものがある。そのため、スイッチユニットの半田が溶け、外側カバーに垂れて発煙し、最悪の場合、カバーが発火するおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、運転席側パワーウインドウスイッチ一式を対策品と交換する。
