Japan — Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism

What the ministry says is wrong

電動パワーステアリングにおいて、制御ユニット内の基板の製造工程が不適切なため、端子部の溶接が確実に行われていないものがある。そのため、端子部の溶接が外れてしまいパワーステアリングのアシストが失われ、最悪の場合、基板内に過大な電流が流れて過熱し、車両火災に至るおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、電動パワーステアリングを良品に交換する。

The two passages above are quoted in Japanese because that is the language the ministry published them in. This site keeps the wording a register had when it was read, and does not translate a safety notice.

This site gathered the record, grouped it by notification number and set it in English around the ministry's own words; the notice itself is unaltered.
