Hazard
The starter relay in the starting device has improper energization settings, causing silver components to accumulate at the contact points. Continued use in this state may result in silver components separating from the contact points and lodging in the circuit, causing the relay to remain energized and the starter to continue rotating. In the worst case, this may lead to fire.

始動装置のスタータにおいて、スタータ駆動用リレーの通電設定が不適切なため、接点部に銀成分が凝集するものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、接点部から銀成分がはがれ落ち、回路内に挟まると当該リレーが通電状態となりスタータが回転し続け、最悪の場合、火災に至るおそれがある。
Remedy
Replace the relay with a corrective part and replace the starter with a new unit on all vehicles.
