What the ministry says is wrong

運転席側パワーウインドウスイッチのスイッチユニットの構造及び樹脂材が不適切なため、車内清掃用品等に含まれるシリコン成分がスイッチ接点部に付着した状態でのスイッチ操作を繰返すと、接点の磨耗粉がスイッチの電源部とアース部の隙間に堆積して発熱し、スイッチユニットの樹脂材が炭化して電流がリークし続けるものがある。そのため、スイッチユニットの半田が溶け、外側カバーに垂れて発煙し、最悪の場合、カバーが発火するおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、運転席側パワーウインドウスイッチ一式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.

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

ホンダ elsewhere in this register

ホンダ is named on 463 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(電気装置)

202 notices in this register name その他(電気装置). 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 Honda: 465 in the register, and 303 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2011.
