Japan — Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism

What the ministry says is wrong

 ハイブリッドシステムの電圧変換器(インバータ)において、製造工程での異常処置が不適切なため、コンデンサが電圧変換器本体にボルト締結されず、端子のみで支持されているものがある。そのため、走行振動により端子が折損して警告灯が点灯し、最悪の場合、走行不能となるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

 全車両、電圧変換器を良品と交換する。

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.
