Hazard

Improper routing of electrical wiring within the meter cluster can cause the wiring to contact the tachograph mounting bracket when the steering wheel is slid to the fully forward position, resulting in wiring damage. If operated in this state, the wiring may short or break, potentially causing headlights to fail to illuminate or engine failure to start.

メータクラスタ内の電気配線の取り回しが不適切なため、ステアリングホイールの位置を最前方へスライドさせると、当該配線が運行記録計の取付け金具と干渉し、当該配線が損傷するものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用すると、当該配線がショート、又は切断して、最悪の場合、前照灯が不灯になる、又はエンジンが始動不能となるおそれがある。

Remedy

For all vehicles, correct the wiring routing, replace the tachograph mounting bracket with a revised part to ensure proper clearance between the wiring and bracket, and repair the wiring if damage is present.
