Hazard

In vehicles equipped with the hill start assist device (EZGO: Easy Go), the waterproof structure of the control solenoid valve is inadequate, allowing water containing de-icing agent to enter the interior. This causes internal corrosion, resulting in the hydraulic circuit remaining blocked during EZGO operation, causing brake drag, and in worst cases, brake overheating and potential fire.

坂道発進補助装置(EZGO:イージーゴー)装着車両において、制御用電磁弁の防水構造が不適切なため、内部に融雪剤を含んだ水が侵入するものがある。そのため、内部が錆びて、EZGO作動時に油圧回路が閉塞したままとなり、ブレーキが引きずり、最悪の場合、ブレーキが過熱して発火するおそれがある。

Remedy

Inspect the hill start assist solenoid valve on all vehicles and replace affected units with corrective parts.
