  "excerpt": "メルセデス・ベンツ Gf-220178, Gf-215378. Published by MLIT as 1208480 on 23 January 2001. Part: その他(エンジン). What the notice says 原動機制御用コンピュータのコントロールユニットにおいて、アイドリング時のプログラ ムに不適切なものがあるため、アイドリング状態での失火を検知できず、点火を停止した 気筒にも燃料が供給されることから、未燃焼ガスが触媒に流入し、最悪の場合、触媒が過 熱して火災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. CarsMultiverse is not the ministry and not a safety authority. To act on this notice, use the ministry's own document . The Japanese register on this site メルセデス・ベンツ is named on 444 notices in the copy of MLIT’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time. 2201740 · 6 March 2001 · E-210037, E-210055, E-210065 · エアーバッグ 1208580 · 6 March 2001 · Gf-168033, Gf-168032 · 圧力制御伝達部 1208740 · 12 June 2001 · 不明 · その他(走行装置) 1208890 · 31 July 2001 · Gf-638234 · シフトレバー/ペダル 2201890 ",
