What the ministry says is wrong

 プラスチック製燃料タンクを射出成形する時に必要となる穴を埋めるキャップと、その 内側に接続されているバッフル・プレート(燃料の揺動防止板)の接続部分の強度が不十 分なため、このままの状態で使用を続けるとキャップに亀裂が生じて燃料が漏れるおそれ がある。

What is to be done about it

 全車両、当該部分を点検し、対策前の燃料タンクが装着されている場合は、燃料タンク を対策品と交換する。

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.

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

ルノー elsewhere in this register

ルノー is named on 109 notices in the copy of MLIT’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

The same part: 燃料タンク

200 notices in this register name 燃料タンク. 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 Renault: 109 in the register, and 56 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 1995.
