Hazard
Stress concentration occurs at the embedded nut sections of the lower cover at the peripheral fastening points (16 locations total) of the upper and lower covers of the aftermarket warning light mounted on the vehicle. When external factors such as vibration during driving and solar heat are applied to these areas, cracks may develop. If use continues in this condition, the fastening sections may be damaged, and in the worst case, the upper cover may separate.

車両に架装した警光灯（社外品）の上下カバーの外周締結部（計１６ヶ所）において、下側カバーの埋込ナット部に応力集中が発生しており、そこに走行振動や日射熱等の外的要因が加わることで亀裂が発生することがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、締結部が損傷し、最悪の場合、上側カバーが脱落するおそれがある。
Remedy
Replace the warning light with a corrected unit on all vehicles.
