Defect
The high-mount stop lamp is improperly designed and cannot fully absorb thermal expansion and contraction caused by temperature changes. This may cause cracks to develop at the lamp's welded joints. Continued use allows rainwater and other moisture to enter the lamp interior, and in the worst case, the lamp may fail to illuminate.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the high-mount stop lamp with the corrected part.

状況
ハイマウントストップランプの構造が不適切なため、温度変化による膨張・収縮を吸収しきれず、ランプの溶着部分に亀裂が生じることがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、ランプ内部に雨水等が浸入し、最悪の場合、当該ランプが点灯しなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、ハイマウントストップランプを対策品と交換する。
