| MLIT filing number | 1143450 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | October 10, 2018 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Toyota |
| Component | Headlamp |
| Production period | December 13, 2012 — September 18, 2015 |
| Vehicles affected | 4,752 units |
Defect
In taxi and other extended-use applications, headlamp bulbs may remain illuminated far longer than anticipated. The heat and ultraviolet radiation emitted by the bulb can cause the aluminum vapor-deposited coating on the reflector to peel. Continued use reduces light-focusing efficiency, causing luminous intensity to gradually decrease. In the worst case, the headlamp may no longer satisfy the requirements of Safety Standards Article 32.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the headlamp reflector with a corrected part and replace the lens with a new unit.

状況
前照灯において、タクシー用途等で使用する際、想定を超えて長時間点灯し続けると、バルブからの熱と紫外線により反射板のアルミ蒸着が剥離することがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、集光不足となり、光度が徐々に低下し、最悪の場合、保安基準第３２条を満足しなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、前照灯の反射板を対策品に、レンズを新品に交換する。
