What the notice says ヒーターへの冷却水の流入を制御しているヒーターシャットオフバルブにおいて、当該バルブ内部の設計が不適切なため、冷却水が内部で漏れるものがある。そのため、漏れた冷却水が気化して電子基板へ結露することでショートが発生して当該バルブが作動不良となり、最悪の場合、電子基板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.

The Japanese register on this site スマート is named on 11 notices in the copy of MLIT’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time. 1220890 · 24 September 2014 · Cba-451380, Aba-451380, Cba-451480 · (ファン)ベルト 1221980 · 2 July 2015 · Aba-451380, Cba-451332, Cba-451432 · かじ取ギヤボックス 1223380 · 2 June 2016",
