|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | April 9, 2014 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Toyota |

| Vehicles affected | 156,893 units |
Defect
At the wiper motor mounting area, the drain port geometry is improperly designed. If debris such as fallen leaves is not removed, the drain port may become blocked. Continued operation allows overflow water to penetrate the wiper motor interior and the electrical wiring for the brake lights and other circuits. In the worst case, the wipers and brake lights may cease to function.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, the drain port shape will be corrected and the wiper motor will be replaced with a new unit. The electrical wiring will also be inspected and replaced with new wiring if corrosion is found.

状況
窓ふき器（ワイパー）モータ取付部において、排水口の形状が不適切なため、落ち葉等異物を取り除かずに使用すると排水口が詰まる場合がある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、溢れた水がモータ内部や制動灯等の電気配線に浸入し、最悪の場合、ワイパーや制動灯等が作動しなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、排水口の形状を修正するとともにワイパーモータを新品と交換する。また、電気配線を点検し、腐食している場合は新品と交換する。
