Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1147640 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | June 24, 2020 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Toyota |
| Component | Headlamp |
| Production period | January 2013 — September 11, 2015 |
| Vehicles affected | 228 units |
Defect
When headlamps are used in taxi applications or other conditions requiring extended continuous illumination beyond the anticipated duration, heat and ultraviolet radiation from the bulb may cause the aluminum vapor deposition on the reflector to peel. Continued operation with a degraded reflector reduces light concentration, causing luminous intensity to gradually decrease and, in the worst case, fail to meet Safety Standards Article 32 (headlamp requirements).
Corrective action
Replace the headlamp reflector with a corrected/revised part and replace the lens with a new unit on all vehicles.

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（前照灯の基準）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。
