Hazard

The rectifier in the electrical system has insufficient heat dissipation, causing solder cracks in internal joints that disable the constant voltage function. This results in the battery entering an overcharge state, reducing electrolyte and impairing battery function. Overvoltage then affects the lighting and ignition circuits, potentially melting filaments in the headlight, brake light, taillight, license plate light, speedometer illumination, and turn signal, causing them to fail or malfunction. Additionally, the engine may stall and become unable to restart.

電気装置において、整流器の放熱性が不足しているため、内部の半田付け部に亀裂を生 じて定電圧機能が作動しなくなり、蓄電池が過充電状態となることがあり、電解液が減少 して蓄電池の機能が損なわれるとともに、灯火装置及び点火装置の電気回路に過電圧がか かり、前照灯、制動灯、尾灯、番号灯、速度計照明及び方向指示器のフィラメントが溶損 して点灯又は作動しなくなる、若しくは原動機が停止し、再始動が出来なくなるおそれが ある。

Remedy

Replace the rectifier with the corrective part on all vehicles.
