What the ministry says is wrong

原動機制御コンピュータのプログラムが不適切なため、外気温変化の大きな気象条件下で 、O2センサのセラミック部に付着した水分が、当該センサヒーターの作動時に熱負荷を 与え、当該センサのセラミック部にヘアクラックが発生する。そのため、当該センサが、 誤った空燃比信号を発信し、空燃比が濃くなり イグニッション失火状態が発生して、最 悪の場合、異常な排気ガスを発生するおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、O2センサのセラミック部の損傷を防ぐよう、エンジンECUの制御プログラム を書き換える。

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

フォルクスワーゲン elsewhere in this register

フォルクスワーゲン is named on 180 notices in the copy of MLIT’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

The same part: エンジン一般

142 notices in this register name エンジン一般. 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 Volkswagen: 180 in the register, and 511 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2004.
