Defect
In the headlamp bulbs, an incorrect manufacturing process results in an incompatible material being used in the filament, reducing filament rigidity. Continued use allows driving vibration to break the filament, causing the headlamp to go dark. The broken filament may then contact the ground wire and blow a fuse. In the worst case, the engine may stall while driving.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, the headlamp bulb will be replaced with a conforming part.

状況
前照灯において、電球の製造工程が不適切なため、電球内のフィラメントに異材が使用され、フィラメントの剛性が低いものがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、走行時の振動でフィラメントが断線して前照灯が不灯となり、断線したフィラメントがアース線に接触してヒューズが切断し、最悪の場合、走行中にエンジンが停止するおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、前照灯の電球を良品に交換する。
