Defect
On cold-climate specification vehicles, the body integrated control computer located inside the fuse block has an improperly designed circuit controlling the brake lights. Electrical noise generated during wiper operation causes excessive current to flow through the fuse block, which may damage internal components. Continued use in this condition may, in the worst case, cause the brake lights to stop illuminating.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, verify the part number of the fuse block and, where applicable, replace it with a fuse block incorporating a corrected body integrated control computer.

状況
寒冷地仕様車のヒューズブロック内にあるボデー統合制御コンピュータにおいて、制動灯を制御する回路の設計が不適切なため、ワイパー作動時のノイズによってヒューズブロックに過電流が流れて内部素子が破損するものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、最悪の場合、制動灯が点灯しなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、ヒューズブロックの部品番号を確認し、該当するものはボデー統合制御コンピュータを対策品に変更したヒューズブロックと交換する。
