Filing in context
The Turn signal indicators is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 7 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 22 Honda notifications from 2021 in this archive. For scale, 2,523 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 1 year and 1 month.
Defect
The turn signal switch contacts are manufactured under inadequate process controls, causing arc discharge to occur during switch operation. The resulting metallic particle deposits bridge the fixed contacts, generating heat that melts the contact base retaining the fixed contacts. In the worst case, the contacts fail to conduct and the turn signals stop operating.
Corrective action
Replace the turn signal switch on all vehicles (applicable to both conditions ① and ②) with a conforming unit.

状況
①方向指示器において、ウィンカスイッチ接点の製造管理が不適切なため、ウィンカスイッチ操作時にアーク放電が発生することがある。そのため、固定接点の金属粉の堆積により、接点間が導通し、発熱することで固定接点を保持する接点ベースが溶損して、最悪の場合、導通不良となり、方向指示器が作動しなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
①②全車両、ウィンカスイッチを良品に交換する。
