What the ministry says is wrong

 エンジンルーム内に配置された集中アース・ジョイント・コネクタ(EGIメインリレ ーやフォグランプ等の灯火器のアース用)の接続端子部の許容温度が不足しているため、 通電による発熱により、当該端子部が溶損し、当該端子部が導通不良となって、アースが 適切になされなくなるものがある。そのため、方向指示器等を点灯すると、灯火装置(方 向指示器、車幅灯等)及び一部車両においてはワイパーが正常に作動しなくなるおそれが ある。または、ハザードもしくはフォグランプを点灯させる、または一部車両においてウ インド・ウォッシャを作動させると、EGIメインリレーが正常に作動しなくなり、エン ジンが停止するおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、当該ジョイントコネクタを取り除き、直接アース線へ接続する。

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

マツダ elsewhere in this register

マツダ is named on 465 notices in the copy of MLIT’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

The same part: 配線

454 notices in this register name 配線. 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 Mazda: 471 in the register, and 511 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2004.

The badge is free to use. It links to this page and nowhere else, and it never shows advertising.

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