What the ministry says is wrong

かじ取り装置のステアリング・ホイール(ハンドル)内に組み込まれているエアバッグ装 置のアースが不適切なものがあり、運転者が乗降する際、身体に帯電した静電気が放電し 、最悪の場合、当該エアバッグが自動的に作動するおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両点検し、ステアリングホイール内のエアバッグ取付金具に装着されたプリント基板 がリベットのみにて取付けられているものは、当該エアバッグ取付金具にアース線を新た に設置する。

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

アウディ elsewhere in this register

アウディ is named on 156 notices in the copy of MLIT’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

The same part: エアーバッグ

119 notices in this register name エアーバッグ. 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 an Audi: 160 in the register, and 106 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 1997.

The badge is free to use. It links to this page and nowhere else, and it never shows advertising.
