Hazard
The brake light and tail light bulbs are improperly mounted to their sockets. Vibration during driving causes the bulb terminals and socket terminals to rub against each other, generating wear debris that accumulates on the socket terminals, creating electrical resistance and heat. This can cause the socket terminal insulation plate to melt. The resulting short circuit between the socket terminal and the pressure spring can blow the fuse, causing the brake lights and auxiliary brake lights to fail to illuminate and the warning buzzer to sound.

制動灯及び尾灯の電球のソケットへの取付方法が不適切なため、走行時の振動で電球端子とソケット端子が擦れて摩耗粉が生じ、ソケット端子部に堆積して電気抵抗となり発熱し、ソケット端子の絶縁板が溶損するものがある。そのため、ソケット端子と圧着スプリングの間で短絡し、ヒューズが切れ、制動灯と補助制動灯が点灯しなくなるとともに警音器が鳴らなくなるおそれがある。
Remedy
Replace the entire rear light fixture wiring assembly (from connector to socket) with a corrected part on all vehicles, and replace the brake light and tail light bulbs with new units.
