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

前照灯スイッチにおいて、接点しゅう動部の潤滑用グリスに不適切なものが混入したため 、使用過程で磨耗紛、または潤滑用グリスの酸化物が当該しゅう動部に生成し、接点部の 接触抵抗が増大することがある。そのため、そのまま使用すると、前照灯が点灯しなくな るおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

①全車両、当該前照灯スイッチを正規のグリス塗布した良品と交換する。 ②全車両、当該スイッチの作動電流を低減するために、前照灯の電気回路にリレー回路を 追加する。

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

小松メック elsewhere in this register

小松メック is named on 22 notices in the copy of MLIT’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

The same part: 前照灯

161 notices in this register name 前照灯. 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 Komatsu Mec: 22 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.

Owners of these cars

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