What the ministry says is wrong

警音器において、配線コネクター内部のシール材に不適切なものがあり、そのままの状態 で使用を続けると、雨天走行時等の水が浸入し、内部基板が断線して、当該警音器が鳴ら なくなり、又は当該基板が短絡して当該警音器が鳴り続け、最悪の場合、警音器が焼損す るおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両点検し、当該警音器を良品と交換する。

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.

サターン( 生産国:アメリカ合衆国) elsewhere in this register

サターン( 生産国:アメリカ合衆国) is named on 3 notices in the copy of MLIT’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

The same part: 警音器

32 notices in this register name 警音器. 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: 139 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 1999.
