Hazard

The coating material on the terminal portion of lighting circuit fuses is inadequate. Vehicle vibration causes damage to the terminals, which combined with thermal effects generates non-conductive material (zinc oxide), resulting in poor electrical contact. Consequently, some or multiple lighting functions may fail to illuminate: headlights, front fog lights, parking lights, license plate lights, tail lights, rear fog lights, brake lights, auxiliary brake lights, reverse lights, and turn signals.

灯火装置用ヒューズの端子部のコーティング材質が不適切なため、車体の振動によって生じた端子部分の傷に熱の影響が加わることによって、非電導物質(酸化亜鉛)が生成され、接触不良が発生する。そのため、前照灯、前部霧灯、車幅灯、番号灯、尾灯、後部霧灯、制動灯、補助制動灯、後退灯及び方向指示器の一部、または複数が不灯になるおそれがある。

Remedy

All vehicles: replace lighting circuit fuses with corrective parts.
