For scale, 2,356 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
Inadequate material controls during the manufacture of turn signal switch components allow non-specification materials to be used. Rainwater and other moisture that enters the switch cause corrosion of these components. In the worst case, advancing corrosion causes component breakage, and the turn signals stop operating.

Replace the turn signal switch on all vehicles (applicable to both conditions ① and ②) with a conforming unit.
