Is your vehicle included? Check with your VIN at MLIT, or ask a dealer. This page is an independent copy of the notice, kept so you can see what changed after it was published. It is not the authority, and the authority’s own text is the one to act on.

What the ministry says is wrong

車室内の空気調整装置の風量等を調整するファン・コントロールユニット内の電気回路に 一部不適切なものがあるため、ユニット内部が異常加熱するものがあり、最悪の場合、当 該ユニットに接続するコネクタが溶損し、ブロア・ファンが作動しなくなり、デフロスタ の機能が損なわれるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、当該ファン・コントロールユニット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

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: その他(その他)

347 notices in this register name その他(その他). 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 228 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2000.

No register publishes what happens after the letter. Owners do: tell us, in two taps.

Anonymous: no account, no cookie, nothing you type is stored beyond these choices. Figures appear once 3 owners have answered, and are published with the record under CC BY 4.0.
