What the ministry says is wrong

シフトレンジの位置を検知するインヒビタスイッチの製造工程において、溶着治具の交換基準が不適切であったため、溶着が不十分となり、シール性が不足しているものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けるとスイッチ内部へ水分が浸入することで接触不良が発生し、始動不良や後退灯不点灯に至るおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、インヒビタスイッチを良品に交換する。

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

スバル elsewhere in this register

スバル is named on 213 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 Subaru: 213 in the register, and 398 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2023.
