A spark may occur between the contact points of the cornering lights switch inside the combination switch unit, if the lights are illuminated while the combination switch is held at the middle of the stroke, such as when changing lanes, due to improper shape of the contact points. If this occurs, the contact will wear and abrasion powder may accumulate on the circuit board, which could cause a short circuit, resulting in a fire.

For 4WD vehicles, the bracket securing the centre bearing for the front axle propeller shaft does not have sufficient rigidity and its clamp surfaces are not perfectly manufactured. These problems are likely to cause excessive stress on the bracket bolt, which may break, resulting in abnormal noise. If the vehicle continues to be driven with the broken bolt, the bracket could break, in which case the propeller shaft would not be supported and the vehicle would stall.

The tape that is wound between the bobbin and the coil of the alternator is made of improper material, and it may emit gas due to heat from the alternator, in which case the coil sheath could be damaged causing a short circuit. If the vehicle continues to be driven while the alternator is generating no power, the engine could stop and will not restart.

The bracket securing the centre bearing for the propeller shaft is not of the correct type, and the rubber on the bracket may be prematurely damaged. If this problem is left unattended, the bracket could break.

On certain vehicles, the locknuts on the front outer hub bearings are not tightened sufficiently and/or grease applied on the front outer hub bearings and the front hub bodies is not sufficient, from the time of assembling of the axle. If left unfixed, the bearings may overheat or be damaged due to a lack of torque and/or lubrication, and in the worst case, this could cause the vehicle to stall or result in a fire.

For compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles, the joint section of the exhaust pipe that is connected to the exhaust manifold does not have sufficient strength, and it may crack from engine vibration at vehicle start. If this problem is left unattended, the exhaust pipe could break, causing the noise level to increase.

On certain vehicles, the electrical wiring of the intake air heater for the engine may interfere with the parking brake cable due to the improper routing. If the wiring is damaged by such interference, a short circuit may occur, which in the worst case could lead to a fire.

The structure of the wiring connection of the engine control unit is not appropriate, and this can allow a driver to manipulate the system, which will cause the engine warning light to illuminate. If the driver ignores the warning light and drives the vehicle, the speed limiter will be deactivated and so the speed can exceed the set level.
