What the ministry says is wrong

前輪の制動装置(マスターシリンダ)において、部品組立工程での作業管理が不適切なため、内部部品を欠品のまま組立てられたものがある。そのため、ブレーキ液圧が発生せず、前輪ブレーキが効かないおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、マスターシリンダを良品に交換する。

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

カワサキ elsewhere in this register

カワサキ is named on 90 notices in the copy of MLIT’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

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 Kawasaki: 90 in the register, and 421 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2020.
