Hazard
The contact geometry within the headlight switch is improper, resulting in accelerated contact wear. Wear debris allows sliding grease to accumulate on the contacts, generating insulation deposits. This can cause the headlights to intermittently fail to illuminate. Continued operation may increase electrical resistance at the contacts, causing overheating that melts the resin housing and extinguishes the lights.

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、摩耗粉を伝わ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
Replace the headlight switch with a corrected part on all vehicles.
