What the ministry says is wrong

原動機の始動装置において、イグニッションスイッチの回路が不適切なため、始動時に時 間がかかるなどイグニッションキーを長時間まわし続けた場合、当該スイッチに過大な電 流が流れ、スイッチ内部が発熱して樹脂が溶損し、最悪の場合、短絡して火災に至るおそ れがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、スタータ制御用のリレーを新たに設置する。また、イグニッションスイッチに損 傷があるものは新品と交換する。

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

ポンテアック elsewhere in this register

ポンテアック is named on 4 notices in the copy of MLIT’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

The same part: 始動装置

105 notices in this register name 始動装置. 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: 220 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2002.
