Defect
On vehicles without an idling stop system, the motor coil and shaft of the starter motor have insufficient interference fit. Cranking loads cause the motor coil to shift out of position. Continued use allows the brushes to deform, leading to starter malfunction. In the worst case, the brush holder may fracture, causing a short circuit and ignition.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the affected starter motor with the corrected/revised part.

状況
アイドリングストップ無し車のスターターモータにおいて、モータコイルとシャフトの嵌合力が不足しているため、始動時の入力によってモータコイルがずれるものがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、ブラシが変形して始動不良となり、最悪の場合、ブラシホルダが破損し、ショートして発火するおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、当該スターターモータを対策品と交換する。
