What the ministry says is wrong

車室内の空気調整装置の風量を制御するブロア・ファンコントロールユニットの電気回路 が不適切なため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、ブロア・モーターからの逆起電圧に より当該ファンコントロールユニットが損傷し、最悪の場合、ブロア・ファンが作動しな くなり、デフロスタの機能が損なわれるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、当該コントロールユニットとブロア・モーター間の電気配線にダイオードを取り 付ける。

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.
