Hazard
The aftermarket warning light fixture installed on the vehicle has stress concentration at the embedded nut portion of the lower cover at the outer peripheral fastening points (16 locations total). When external factors such as vibration during driving and solar heat are applied to this area, cracks may develop. If the vehicle continues to be used in this condition, the fastening points may be damaged, and in the worst case, the upper cover may detach.
