| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | September 11, 2014 |

Defect
During assembly of the brake light switch, technicians wearing work gloves contaminated with insulating lubricant oil allowed trace amounts of lubricant to enter the switch contact area. This contamination causes an insulating deposit to form on the contacts, increasing electrical resistance and resulting in poor continuity. As a result, the brake lights may fail to illuminate. On some vehicle models, a failed brake light circuit may also prevent the shift lever from moving out of the Park position.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the brake light switch with a new unit.

状況
制動灯スイッチにおいて、絶縁性潤滑油が付着した作業用手袋で組み付け作業をしたため、微量な潤滑油成分がスイッチ接点部に浸入し、当該接点部に絶縁物が生成されることがある。そのため、当該接点部の電気抵抗が増大して導通不良となり、制動灯が点灯しなくなるおそれがある。なお、一部の車種において、制動灯が点灯しなくなった場合、シフトレバーがパーキング位置から動かなくなる事象も発生する。
改善措置
全車両、制動灯スイッチを新品と交換する。
