What the ministry says is wrong

運転席エアバッグ装置の展開構造が不適切なため、展開の際にエアバッグがホーンパッドと干渉するものがある。そのため、エアバッグが損傷し、展開が不十分となり、最悪の場合、運転者に過度の傷害を与えるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、運転席エアバッグユニットの部品番号を点検し、該当する部品番号のユニットについては、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.
