What the ministry says is wrong

電気制御式前後進コントロールユニットにおいて、配線取出し部の防水構造が不適切なため、洗車等により当該取出し部からユニット内部に水が浸入し、可変抵抗部が錆びて腐食することがある。そのため、その状態で使用を続けると、導通不良を起こし、最悪の場合、後進操作時に前進してしまうおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、電気制御式前後進コントロールユニットを対策品に交換する。

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

サカイ elsewhere in this register

サカイ is named on 25 notices in the copy of MLIT’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

The same part: その他(動力伝達)

190 notices in this register name その他(動力伝達). 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 Sakai: 25 in the register, and 427 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2005.
