Defect
In the starter, the cranking relay has insufficient durability. Repeated engine starts and idling stop cycles cause abnormal wear on the relay contacts, allowing wear debris to accumulate on the contact surfaces. Continued use may render the engine unable to start. In the worst case, a vehicle fire may occur during starter engagement or while driving.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the starter with the corrected part.

状況
スタータにおいて、始動用リレーの耐久性が不十分なため、エンジン始動やアイドリングストップの繰返しにより接点が異常摩耗して、接点部に摩耗粉が堆積することがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、エンジン始動不能となったり、最悪の場合、スタータ起動時または走行時等、火災に至るおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、スタータを対策品に交換する。
