What the ministry says is wrong

電動パワーステアリングにおいて、車両生産時の組付けの作業指示が不適切であったため、作業時にボディと接触したものがある。そのため、接触時に内部の電子部品が損傷している可能性があり、使用過程で電気的な故障が発生すると警告メッセージが表示され、最悪の場合、パワーアシストが利かなくなるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、電動パワーステアリングを新品に交換する。

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

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: パワーステアリング

156 notices in this register name パワーステアリング. 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 371 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2024.
