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.

What the ministry says is wrong

 後輪駆動用チェーンの構成部品の製造工程に於いて不適切な熱処理が行われたものが混 入したため、このままの状態で使用を続けると、凍結防止剤が散布されている等の特定の 環境下で当該チェーンが破損する場合があり、最悪の場合、走行不能となるおそれがある 。

What is to be done about it

 全車両、適切な熱処理を施した後輪駆動用チェーンと交換する。

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

カワサキ elsewhere in this register

カワサキ is named on 90 notices in the copy of MLIT’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

The same part: チェーン

10 notices in this register name チェーン. A defect that keeps returning under one heading is worth reading as a group rather than one notice at a time.

Reading this against the source

This page is what MLIT published in the recall notices it publishes, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /japan, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.

This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Japanese recalls on a Kawasaki: 90 in the register, and 56 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 1995.

Owners of these cars

No register publishes what happens after the letter. Owners do: tell us, in two taps.
