What the ministry says is wrong

運転席及び助手席のシートベルトアンカーにおいて、バックルとケーブルフックの組み付け作業が不適切なため、完全にロックされていないものがある。そのため、シートベルトアンカーに強い力がかかった際にケーブルフックからバックルが外れ、シートベルトが十分に機能しないおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、運転席及び助手席のシートベルトアンカーのロック状態を点検し、不十分な場合はロックをかけなおす。

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.
