Hazard

The typeface of characters printed on the engine start/stop switch surface is inappropriate. When oily substances such as perspiration come into contact with the surface, the adhesion of the chrome coating applied to the surface deteriorates, causing portions of the coating to peel off. Consequently, when operating the switch, contact with the sharp edges of the characters may cause finger injuries.

エンジン始動/停止スイッチにおいて、表面に記載されている文字の字体が不適切なため、手汗などの油脂成分が付着すると、表面に施されたクロームコーティングの接着性が低下し、当該コーティングの一部が剥がれるものがある。そのため、スイッチを操作する際に文字の鋭角部分に触れると、指先が負傷するおそれがある。

Remedy

For all vehicles, inspect the typeface of characters on the engine start/stop switch and replace affected units with corrected parts.
