What the ministry says is wrong

 エンジンルームのボンネット後部と防水用シールゴムに隙間があるため、頻繁な洗車等 で発電機やエンジン上面に水がかかり、発電機内の回転センサコネクタやエンジン点火プ ラグの電極部に浸入するものがある。そのため、エンジン警告灯が点灯しフェールセーフ のモータ走行となったり、点火プラグが失火してエンジン不調となり、排出ガス基準を満 足できなくなるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、ボンネット後部にシール材を取り付ける。

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

トヨタ elsewhere in this register

トヨタ is named on 593 notices in the copy of MLIT’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

The same part: エンジン一般

142 notices in this register name エンジン一般. 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 Toyota: 594 in the register, and 511 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2004.
