What the ministry says is wrong

ガソリンエンジン車のエンジン制御コンピュータにおいて、インジェクタ駆動電源回路に使用する電解コンデンサの製造工程が不適切なため、内部が損傷しているものがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると損傷が進み、エンジンが停止し、再始動できなくなるおそれがある。さらに、エンジンスイッチをオンの状態で維持していると、インジェクタや高圧燃料ポンプ内部の駆動部が過熱し、樹脂部が溶けて燃料が漏れ出し、最悪の場合、火災に至るおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、エンジン制御コンピュータの状態を点検し良品と交換する。点検の結果、異常がある場合は、インジェクタ、高圧燃料ポンプを新品と交換する。あわせて、ハーネスの状態を確認し、損傷がある場合はハーネスを新品と交換する。

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.

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.

The Japanese register on this site

マツダ elsewhere in this register

マツダ is named on 465 notices in the copy of MLIT’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

The same part: コンピュータ(エンジ

219 notices in this register name コンピュータ(エンジ. 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 Mazda: 471 in the register, and 497 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2018.
