What the ministry says is wrong

エンジンの各シリンダに取付けられているグロープラグにおいて、製造工程が不適切なため、グロープラグ内部で電気的短絡が発生して損傷する場合がある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用をつづけると、エンジン始動性の悪化、運転中の振動・異音の発生、グロープラグの損傷箇所からシリンダ内のガスが外部へ漏出するなどの事象が発生するおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、グロープラグを改良品に交換する。

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

キャタピラー elsewhere in this register

キャタピラー is named on 77 notices in the copy of MLIT’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

The same part: エンジン一般

142 notices in this register name エンジン一般. 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 Caterpillar: 77 in the register, and 396 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2014.
