Hazard

The terminal connection points of the electrical switch in the engine starter lack sufficient strength. Continued operation in this condition may result in excessive force being applied to these terminals due to vibration during driving, causing them to fracture and preventing engine startup.

原動機のスタータ(始動機)の電流開閉器において、配線の端子部の強度が不足している ため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、走行中の振動により当該端子部に過大な力が加 わり、折損し、原動機が始動できなくなるおそれがある。

Remedy

As a temporary measure pending availability of corrective parts, all vehicles will have their electrical switch wiring terminals inspected and any units showing cracks, fractures, or other abnormalities will be replaced with serviceable units. Subsequently, all vehicles will have the switch assembly replaced with the corrective version.
