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

運転者席及び助手席下部とフロアー間に取り付けられたシートヒーター機構への電気配線 の取り廻しが不適切なため、シートポジションが低い位置で、かつ、シートクッション中 央部に荷重が集中した状態で長期間使用を続けると、当該電気配線がシート部材の金属部 分に干渉することがある。そのため、当該配線が損傷し、最悪の場合、回路が短絡して火 災に至るおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、既存の運転者席及び助手席シートヒーター電気配線の使用を取りやめ、新たに、 対策されたシートヒーター電気配線を取り付ける。

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

ボルボ elsewhere in this register

ボルボ is named on 203 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(乗車装置)

71 notices in this register name その他(乗車装置). 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: Japanese recalls on a Volvo: 207 in the register, and 231 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2003.
