| MLIT filing number | 1139150 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | November 2, 2016 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Suzuki |
| Component | Brake light switch |
| Production period | March 28, 2012 — May 19, 2016 |
| Vehicles affected | 13,934 units |
Defect
The waterproofing structure of the coupler connecting the brake light switch to the harness is inadequate. When the coupler is exposed to water, moisture travels along the wire cores into the brake light switch, causing internal corrosion. Continued use allows the internal circuit to short circuit, and in the worst case, the fuse blows, disabling the headlights, brake lights, and tail lights.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the brake light switch-side coupler with a corrected part that includes a waterproof cover. On vehicles where a waterproof cover is not installed on the harness-side coupler, add a waterproof cover.

状況
制動灯スイッチとメインハーネスを接続するカプラの防水構造が不適切なため、カプラが被水した際に水が電線内の芯線を伝わって制動灯スイッチ内部に浸入し、内部が腐食することがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、制動灯スイッチ内部の回路が短絡し、最悪の場合、ヒューズが溶断して、前照灯、制動灯、尾灯が不灯となるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、制動灯スイッチ側のカプラに防水カバーを追加した対策品に交換する。 メインハーネス側のカプラに防水カバーが取り付けられていない車両には防水カバーを追加する。
