What the ministry says is wrong

車体にかじとり装置を固定するブラケット(金具)の溶接工程において、生産準備のために試作した部品の処置が不適切なため、正規品の中に混入した可能性がある。そのため、ハンドル操作時に当該溶接部が剥がれて、異音が発生し、最悪の場合、ハンドル位置が急激に下がって操作が困難になるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、当該ブラケットを含む車体部品を良品に交換する。また、良品と交換するまでの間、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.

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: その他(かじ取り)

87 notices in this register name その他(かじ取り). 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 311 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2012.
