Defect
The wiring harness connected to the auxiliary power module may be missing its protective cover on the underside of the vehicle due to incorrect assembly work instructions. Road debris and stones thrown up during driving can cause a broken wire in the harness, preventing the battery from charging. Continued operation will drain the lead battery and, in the worst case, cause an engine stall or prevent the vehicle from starting.
Corrective action
Inspect the harness on all vehicles. If damage is found, replace the harness with a new unit and install the harness protective cover. If no damage is found, install the harness protective cover.

状況
補助電源モジュールに接続されるハーネスにおいて、作業指示書が不適切なため、車両床下のハーネス保護カバーが組み付けられていないものがある。そのため、走行時の飛び石等により当該ハーネスが断線し、充電できなくなり、そのまま使用を続けると、鉛バッテリが上がり、最悪の場合、エンストや始動不能に至るおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、当該ハーネスを点検し、損傷が認められる場合はハーネスを新品に交換し、ハーネス保護カバーを組み付ける。損傷が認められない場合は、ハーネス保護カバーを組み付ける。
