Defect
The turn signal circuit in the BCM (Body Control Module), which governs electrical component operation, is improperly designed. Static electricity that builds up in the headlamp circuit can damage the turn signal control element, causing the turn signal to remain illuminated continuously. If the turn signal stays on in this condition, the affected element overheats and burns out. In the worst case, a vehicle fire may occur.
Corrective action
Add a static electricity absorption wire to the turn signal electrical circuit on all vehicles.

状況
電気部品の作動を制御するＢＣＭ（ボディ・コントロール・モジュール）において、方向指示器用回路が不適切なため、ヘッドランプに帯電した静電気により方向指示器制御用の素子が破損し、方向指示器が点灯したままになることがある。そのため、そのまま点灯させておくと当該素子が発熱して焼損し、最悪の場合、火災に至るおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、方向指示器の電気配線に静電気吸収用配線を追加する。
