Defect
The brake light switch contacts have insufficient electrical load capacity. When the brakes are applied, the contacts seize, causing one of two failure modes. (1) The brake lights remain continuously illuminated. Continued use in this condition causes the switch to overheat, melting the wiring and, in the worst case, resulting in smoke or a vehicle fire. (2) The brake lights fail to illuminate, and the shift lever may become unable to move out of the Park position.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the brake light switch with a corrected part.

状況
制動灯スイッチ内部の接点の電気負荷に対する容量が不足しているため、制動装置作動時に接点が焼き付き、 ①制動灯が点灯したままの状態となる。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、制動灯スイッチが発熱し、配線が溶損して、最悪の場合、発煙・火災に至るおそれがある。 ②制動灯が点灯しなくなり、シフトレバーがパーキング位置から動かなくなることがある。
改善措置
全車両、制動灯スイッチを対策品と交換する。
