What the ministry says is wrong

エンジンのインテーク側カムシャフトにおいて、構成部品の設計が不適切なものがある。そのため、制動倍力装置に供給される負圧を生成するバキュームポンプへ潤滑オイルが十分に供給されず、バキュームポンプが潤滑不良で固着して、制動倍力装置へ負圧が供給されなくなることにより、最悪の場合、制動停止距離が長くなるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

インテーク側カムシャフトが不具合品であるか及び潤滑オイルの供給状態を点検する。 当該シャフトが不具合品であり、潤滑オイルが十分に供給されていない場合は、当該シャフトを対策品に交換するとともにバキュームポンプを新品に交換する。 当該シャフトが不具合品であり、潤滑オイルが十分に供給されている場合は、当該シャフトに対策品のクランピングスリーブを装着する。

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

BMW elsewhere in this register

BMW is named on 1 notices in the copy of MLIT’s register held here.

The same part: 主ブレーキ一般

246 notices in this register name 主ブレーキ一般. 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 BMW: 409 in the register, and 390 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2013.
