Defect
On vehicles equipped with an idling stop system, the starter-generator has insufficient electrical circuit resistance, allowing the high current drawn during idling stop restart to damage internal components. This damage may cause a short circuit, preventing the engine from restarting after an idling stop event. In the worst case, the short circuit may generate heat and cause the starter-generator to burn.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the starter-generator with a corrected part. Because corrected parts require additional preparation time, the idling stop function will be disabled on affected vehicles until the replacement is completed.

状況
アイドリングストップ付き車のスターター機能付き発電機において、電気回路の耐性が不足しているため、アイドリングストップから再始動する際の高い電流で内部部品が損傷することがある。そのため、回路がショートし、アイドリングストップから再始動できなくなり、最悪の場合、回路のショートで発熱し、発電機が焼損するおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、当該発電機を対策品と交換する。 なお、対策品の準備に時間を要するため、対策品と交換するまでの間は、アイドリングストップ機能を停止する。
