Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1148450 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | November 19, 2020 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Mazda, Suzuki |
| Component | Headlamp |
| Production period | December 13, 2013 — August 30, 2018 |
| Vehicles affected | 343,877 units |
Defect
On discharge (HID) headlamps, inadequate manufacturing process controls have left volatile silicone compounds residue inside the headlamp socket packing on some units. Heat generated when the lamp operates volatilizes the residue, which then deposits on the contact points between the HID bulb and socket. Arc discharge heat at the contact points converts the silicone compound into silicon oxide, an insulating material, causing contact failure and preventing the headlamp from illuminating.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the headlamp socket with a conforming part and replace the HID bulb with a new one.

状況
ディスチャージ（ＨＩＤ）ヘッドランプにおいて、製造管理が不適切なため、ヘッドランプソケット内のパッキンに揮発性のシリコン化合物が残留しているものがある。そのため、当該残留物がランプの点灯熱で揮発し、ＨＩＤバルブとソケットの接点に付着して、接点で発生するアーク放電熱によって絶縁体の酸化シリコンが生成され、導通不良となり、ヘッドランプが点灯できなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、ヘッドランプソケットを良品に交換するとともに、ＨＩＤバルブを新品に交換する。
