  "excerpt": "フォルクスワーゲン E-3Badr, E-3Baeb, Gf-3Baupu, E-3Backf, Gf-3Baprf. Published by MLIT as 1208640 on 12 April 2001. Part: かじ取リンク機構. What the notice says かじ取り装置において、ステアリングギアボックスとステアリングナックルアームを接続 するアルミニウム製の継手部に強度不足のものがあるため、そのままの状態で使用を続け ると、当該継手部が外れ、最悪の場合、操舵ができなくなるおそれがある。 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 フォルクスワーゲン is named on 180 notices in the copy of MLIT’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time. 1208900 · 26 July 2001 · E-6naee, E-6nahs · ハイテンションコード 2201851 · 26 July 2001 · Gf-6nahw · 圧力制御伝達部 2201852 · 26 July 2001 · Gf-6nahw · エンジン一般 1208250 · 30 August 2000 · Gf-1jaeh, Gf-1jagn, Gf-1japk · 圧力制御伝達部 1208",
