What the ministry says is wrong

原動機において、エンジンコントロールユニットのプログラムが不適切なため、吸入空気温度が高い状態で点火時期や燃料噴射、過給圧が適正に制御ができず、異常燃焼を起こすことがある。そのため、シリンダー内の圧力が異常に上昇しコンロッドが折損、最悪の場合、シリンダーブロックが損傷してエンジンオイルが漏れ、火災に至るおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、エンジンコントロールユニットの制御プログラムを書き換える。

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.
