Hazard

Turn/light switches have insufficient mounting rigidity. Switch operation causes connector terminal wear, and the resulting wear debris oxidizes to form insulation material. Continued use may cause this insulation to lodge between terminals, leading to poor electrical continuity. This may result in headlights, parking lights, front fog lights, rear fog lights, taillights, license plate lights, and interior lighting controlled by the switch failing to illuminate or flickering, or direction indicators failing to illuminate.
Show original (日本語)
ターン/ライトスイッチにおいて、取付剛性不足のため、スイッチ操作によりコネクターの端子が摩耗し、その摩耗屑が酸化して絶縁物が生成されるものがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、絶縁物が端子の間にかみ込み、導通不良となり、前照灯、車幅灯、前部霧灯、後部霧灯、尾灯、番号灯および当該スイッチ連動の車室内照明が不灯、あるいは点滅、または、方向指示器が不灯となるおそれがある。

Remedy

Apply grease to connector terminal areas (two locations) on all vehicles.
