| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | April 16, 2015 |

Defect
Improper manufacturing of the blower motor results in the motor shaft and bearing being assembled with their centers misaligned, causing abnormal wear between the shaft and bearing. Continued use in this condition leads to seizure of the shaft and bearing. In the worst case, the blower motor stops operating, the defroster becomes inoperative, and the driver's field of vision cannot be safely maintained.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the blower motor and, on affected units, replace the blower motor with a corrected part. If the power transistor fuse has also blown, replace the power transistor at the same time.

状況
ブロワモータの製造が不適切なため、モータ内部のシャフトと軸受の芯がずれた状態で組み付けられたものがあり、シャフトと軸受が異常摩耗することがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、シャフトと軸受が固着し、最悪の場合、ブロワモータが作動停止して、デフロスタが機能せず安全な視野を確保できないおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、ブロワモータを確認し、該当するものは、ブロワモータを対策品に交換する。また、パワートランジスタのヒューズ切れが発生している場合には、同時にパワートランジスタも交換する。
