  "excerpt": "メルセデス・ベンツ Gf-S55S, Gf-S55Sa, Gf-S55L, Gf-S55La. Published by MLIT as 1208320 on 12 September 2000. Part: パワーステアリング. What the notice says かじ取り装置の振動吸収装置を取り付けているボルトとステアリング・ギヤボックス座面 の表面処理に不適切なものがあるため、規定トルクで締め付けているにもかかわらず、軸 力（締付力）が不足しているものがあり、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、当該ボルト が緩み、パワーステアリング・オイルが漏れて、ハンドル操作が重くなるとともに、漏れ たオイルが排気管に飛散し、最悪の場合、発火に至るおそれがある。 Is your vehicle included? Check with your VIN at MLIT , or ask a dealer. This page is an independent copy of the notice, kept so you can see what changed after it was published. It is not the authority, and the authority’s own text is the one to act on. 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.
