What the ministry says is wrong

リヤハブベアリングの組み付け工程において、リヤハブベアリング固定ボルトの締め付けトルク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、当該ボルトが緩み、最悪の場合、走行安定性が損なわれるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

当該ボルトの緩みを点検し、緩んでいるものは、当該ボルトを再度組み付ける。

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

ロータス elsewhere in this register

ロータス is named on 16 notices in the copy of MLIT’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

The same part: ホイールベアリング

45 notices in this register name ホイールベアリング. 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 Lotus: 18 in the register, and 356 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2009.
