What the ministry says is wrong

 夏場等の高温下において、走行した後短時間駐車するなど原動機が冷却されない状態で 原動機を再始動した場合、燃料蒸発ガス排出抑止装置のチャコールキャニスタ(燃料蒸発 ガスを貯蔵する装置)の大気開放口部から燃料蒸発ガスが排出されることがある。この時 に当該大気開放口部の近傍にある電動式補助冷却ファンの回転速度を制御する抵抗器が通 電されて加熱状態にあると、排出された燃料蒸発ガスが抵抗器の熱によって着火し、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、燃料蒸発ガス排出抑止装置の大気開放口部を当該抵抗器から離れた位置に変更 し、当該抵抗器に遮熱板を装着する。

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

メルセデス・ベンツ elsewhere in this register

メルセデス・ベンツ is named on 444 notices in the copy of MLIT’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

The same part: エバポ抑止装置

20 notices in this register name エバポ抑止装置. 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 Mercedes-Benz: 450 in the register, and 70 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 1994.
