Japan — Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism

What the ministry says is wrong

電動パワーステアリングギヤにおいて、操舵力を検出するトルクセンサーと電気配線の接続部の端子かしめ方法が不適切なため、導通不良が発生するものがある。そのため、警告灯が点灯してパワーステアリングのアシスト機能が停止し、ステアリングの操作力が増大するおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、電動パワーステアリングギヤを良品に交換する。

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.
