Register
Japan — Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism

What the ministry says is wrong

原動機の始動スイッチにおいて、スイッチケースの強度が不足しているものがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、スイッチケースが破損し、最悪の場合、原動機の始動後も始動スイッチが規定の位置まで戻らず、前照灯、方向指示器、窓拭き器等が点灯又は作動しないおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両点検し、当該始動スイッチ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.

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.
