Register
Japan — Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism

What the ministry says is wrong

電動パワーステアリングにおいて、コントロールモジュール(制御装置)の回路基板の一部構成部品の製造が不適切なため、回路に不具合を生じる。この場合、警告灯(パワーアシスト低下)が点灯するとともに、パワーステアリングのパワーアシストが急に失われ、ハンドルが重くなる。

What is to be done about it

全車両、当該パワーステアリングを良品と交換する。

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.

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.
