What the ministry says is wrong

左右後部座席ベルト巻き取り装置のプリテンショナ(衝突時に座席ベルトの弛みを瞬時に 巻き取る装置(火薬式))において、遮音材の材質に不適切なものがあり、当該プリテン ショナが作動した際に同装置から発生する高温の粒子が遮音材内部に入り発熱し、最悪の 場合、当該遮音材が焼損して火災に至るおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、当該遮音材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

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: シートベルト

216 notices in this register name シートベルト. 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 139 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 1999.
