What the ministry says is wrong

かじ取り機構において、ステアリングシャフトとステアリングアッパージョイントの組み付け工程が不適切なため、ステアリングシャフトとステアリングアッパージョイントの嵌合部がかしめられていないものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、当該嵌合部がゆるみ、最悪の場合、ステアリングシャフトが空回りして、かじ取り操作ができなくなるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、当該嵌合部のかしめの有無を確認し、かしめられていないものは、ステアリングシャフトを良品と交換する。

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.

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

フィアット elsewhere in this register

フィアット is named on 46 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(かじ取り)

87 notices in this register name その他(かじ取り). 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 Fiat: 46 in the register, and 303 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2011.
