Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1153410 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | June 23, 2023 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Toyota |
| Component | Headlamp |
| Production period | December 26, 2012 — September 11, 2015 |
| Vehicles affected | 98 units |
Defect
In headlamp applications such as taxi use, prolonged continuous illumination beyond the expected operating duration causes heat and ultraviolet radiation from the bulb to detach the aluminum vapor deposition from the reflector. Continued use results in insufficient light concentration and a gradual reduction in luminous intensity. In the worst case, the headlamp fails to meet the requirements of Safety Standards Article 32 (headlamp standards).
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（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。
