What the ministry says is wrong

助手席用エアバッグのインフレータ(膨張装置)において、ガス発生剤の吸湿防止が不適切なため、温度および湿度変化の繰り返しによりガス発生剤が劣化することがある。このため、エアバッグ展開時にインフレータ容器が破損するおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、助手席用エアバッグモジュールを対策品に交換する。 なお、部品が供給できない場合には、暫定措置として、助手席用エアバッグの機能を停止し、助手席サンバイザ部に当該エアバッグが作動しない旨の警告を表示する。

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.
