What the ministry says is wrong

フロントシートバックレストの角度調整機構の調整作業が不適切なため、リクライニング角度調整用ギヤが十分に噛み合わず、リクライニング位置を固定する力が不足しているものがある。そのため、衝撃等によりフロントシートバックレストが後方へ倒れるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、左右フロントシートバックレストのリクライニング角度調整機構を正しく調整する。

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.
