Hazard

During rectifier manufacturing, insufficient adhesion between the finned cooling case and power module (power composite element) results in inadequate cooling of internal rectifying elements, causing temperature rise and loss of control over generated current. This leads to insufficient battery charging, and in worst-case scenarios, engine shutdown during operation with inability to restart.

整流器の製造工程において、冷却フィン付きケースとパワーモジュール(電力用複合素子)の接着が不十分なため、パワーモジュール内部の整流素子が冷却されずに温度が上昇し、発電電流の制御ができなくなるものがある。そのため、バッテリが充電不足となり、最悪の場合、走行中にエンジンが停止して再始動できなくなるおそれがある。

Remedy

Replace rectifier with corrected unit on all vehicles.
