|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | December 13, 2012 |

Defect
The branch connector on the main harness is covered only with tape, leaving it vulnerable to water ingress. During rain or wet-road driving, water entering through the end of the main harness travels through the protective tube and floods the connector. The accumulated water then wicks along the wire cores and reaches the rear-wheel brake lamp switch, causing the switch contacts to rust and lose conductivity. As a result, the brake lamp may fail to illuminate when the rear brakes are applied.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, correct the tape covering the electrical wiring connector and replace the rear-wheel brake lamp switch with a new unit.

状況
メインハーネスから電気回路を分岐させるコネクタ部がテープで覆われているため、雨天走行等でメインハーネス先端より浸入した雨水等が保護チューブ内を伝わりコネクタ部が浸水すると、溜まった水が電線内の芯線を伝わって後輪用制動灯スイッチまで達することがある。そのため、スイッチ接点が錆びて導通不良となり、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、電気配線のコネクタ部を覆っているテープを修正するとともに、後輪用制動灯スイッチを新品に交換する。
