What the ministry says is wrong

乗車装置において、後部座席の取付け作業及び作業管理が不適切なため、取付けボルト及び取付けナットが適切なトルクで締付けられていないことがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、走行振動等により取付けボルト等が緩み、最悪の場合、事故等により強い衝撃を受けると、取付けボルト等が外れ、座席が浮き上がるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、取付け状態と締付けトルクを確認し、適切に取付けられていないものは、組付けなおす。

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

メルセデス・ベンツ elsewhere in this register

メルセデス・ベンツ is named on 444 notices in the copy of MLIT’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

The same part: 座席

123 notices in this register name 座席. 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 Mercedes-Benz: 450 in the register, and 419 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2016.
