What the ministry says is wrong

無段変速機において、製造時の成型処理が不適切なため金属ベルトのチェーン部にバリが発生しているものがある。そのため、当該バリと金属ベルトのバンドが接触して異音が発生し、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、当該バンドが切れるとともにスムーズに動力を伝達しなくなり、最悪の場合、走行不能になるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、金属ベルトに印字されている記号を確認し、対象となるものは無段変速機を良品に交換する。

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

メルセデス・ベンツ elsewhere in this register

メルセデス・ベンツ is named on 444 notices in the copy of MLIT’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

The same part: 無段変速機

38 notices in this register name 無段変速機. 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 Mercedes-Benz: 450 in the register, and 311 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2012.
