Hazard

①The contact point shape inside the headlight switch is inappropriate, causing accelerated wear. Sliding grease adheres to the contact via wear debris, generating insulation material. This may cause intermittent headlight failure. Continued use increases electrical resistance at the contact, causing overheating, melting of resin components, and risk of light extinction.

①前照灯スイッチ内部の接点の形状が不適切なため、接点の摩耗が早くなり、摩耗粉を伝って摺動グリースが当該接点に付着し絶縁物が生成されることがある。そのため、前照灯が時々点灯しなくなり、そのまま使用を続けると、当該接点の電気抵抗が増加して過熱し、樹脂部が溶損して消灯するおそれがある。

Remedy

①Replace the headlight switch with a corrected part on all vehicles.
