What the ministry says is wrong

ギヤ比可変ステアリングシステム(VGRS)の制御プログラムが不適切なため、通常の据え切り操作から急ハンドルのような素早い戻し操作をすると、一時的にハンドルの中立位置が大きくずれることがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、制御プログラムを修正したVGRSコンピュータと交換する。 なお、交換部品の準備が整うまでの間、運転時の注意事項を使用者に周知する。

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.

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.
