Defect

The stator coil in the generator has insufficient heat resistance. When the coil reaches high temperatures, the wire insulation coating is damaged and a short circuit may develop in part of the coil. This reduces generator output, and continued use causes the battery to become insufficiently charged. In the worst case, the engine stalls while driving and cannot be restarted.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, replace the stator coil with the corrected part.

状況

発電機において、ステータコイルの耐熱性が不足しているため、当該コイルが高温になるとコイル線被膜が損傷しコイルの一部が短絡することがある。そのため、発電量が少なくなり、そのまま使用を続けると、バッテリが充電不足となり、最悪の場合、走行中にエンジンが停止して再始動ができなくなるおそれがある。

改善措置

全車両、ステータコイルを対策品と交換する。
