Affected vehicles

Honda Legend 2000–2002

Hazard

In the lighting system, anti-corrosion oil application on the brake pedal area is inadequate in some vehicles, allowing anti-corrosion oil to penetrate the brake light switch contacts. Sparking during contact intermittency carbonizes the oil, causing contact conductivity failure and preventing brake lights from illuminating.

灯火装置において、ブレーキペダル部の防錆油塗布作業が不適切なものがあるため、防 錆油が制動灯スイッチの接点部に侵入することがあり、接点の断続時のスパークにより油 分が炭化し、接点の導通が不良となって制動灯が点灯しなくなるおそれがある。

Remedy

For all vehicles, wipe away anti-corrosion oil around the brake light switch mounting area on the brake pedal and replace the switch with a new one.
