What the ministry says is wrong

直列3気筒ガソリンエンジンにおいて、組付機器の設定が不適切なため、オイルフィラーキャップが正しく取り付けられていないものがある。そのため、当該フィラーキャップからエンジンヘッドカバー周辺にオイルが漏れ出すおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、オイルフィラーキャップの取り付け状態を点検し、正しく取り付けられていない場合は正規の状態に取り付け直す。なお、オイル漏れが確認された場合は、オイル量を点検し必要な量を補充する。

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

BMW elsewhere in this register

BMW is named on 1 notices in the copy of MLIT’s register held here.

The same part: 潤滑装置

66 notices in this register name 潤滑装置. 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 BMW: 409 in the register, and 421 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2020.
