| Defect | In the electrical wiring of the transmission, due to inappropriate wiring design, strong force is applied to the seal part of the connector wiring, causing some seal parts to deform. As a result, the sealing performance cannot be maintained, and rainwater etc. can infiltrate the connector, causing a short circuit, which may lead to battery drain while parked. In the worst case, heat generated by the short circuit could melt surrounding components and lead to a fire. |
| Component | Electrical system (connector wiring) |
| Remedy | For all vehicles, replace the connector in the affected area with a longer wiring harness that eliminates the connector, and reroute the wiring. |
