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

What the ministry says is wrong

オイルフィルターモジュールにおいて、オイルフィルターハウジングの材質が不適切なため、エンジンの温度の影響を受け、熱膨張をするものがある。そのため、熱膨張を繰り返すことで当該ハウジングが変形して、シーリング部の密閉性が不足し、冷却水やオイルが漏れ、最悪の場合、走行中にエンジンが停止するおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、当該オイルフィルターモジュールを対策品と交換する。

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.
