What the notice says リヤフェンダーフラップの形状が不適切なため、車両の組み付け公差によりタイヤが当該フェンダーフラップより外側に突出し、道路運送車両法の保安基準に適合しないおそれがある。 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. Source: Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism website （出典：国土交通省ウェブサイト）, used under the Public Data License 1.0. 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. 1216170 · 7 October 2009 · 不明, ABA-13CAW, ABA-1FBWA · Ａ／Ｔ 1216030 · 2 September 2009 · Aba-7lbara, Aba-7lbhka, Aba-7lbhks · 車体 1215750 · 13 May 2009 · Gf-1jaeh, Gf-1jagn, Gf-1jagu · 燃料ホース/パイプ 1215760 · 13 May 2009 · 不明, GH-1KAXX, ABA-1KAXX · ドライブシャフト 1215600 · 25 February",
