What the notice says ドアミラーにおいて、特定の環境下で使用過程における紫外線の曝露が大きい場合、ミラーガラスの保護コーティング層の劣化進行に影響を及ぼし、車両の走行振動等により、ミラーガラス部に緩みが生じるものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、最悪の場合、ミラーガラス部が脱落して後方の交通状況等が確認できなくなるおそれがある。

Is your vehicle included? Check with your VIN at MLIT, or ask a dealer. This page is an independent copy of the notice, kept so you can see what changed after it was published. It is not the authority, and the authority’s own text is the one to act on.

Japan — Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism

What the ministry says is wrong

ドアミラーにおいて、特定の環境下で使用過程における紫外線の曝露が大きい場合、ミラーガラスの保護コーティング層の劣化進行に影響を及ぼし、車両の走行振動等により、ミラーガラス部に緩みが生じるものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、最悪の場合、ミラーガラス部が脱落して後方の交通状況等が確認できなくなるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、ドアミラーのミラーガラス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.

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

フォルクスワーゲン elsewhere in this register

フォルクスワーゲン is named on 180 notices in the copy of MLIT’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

The same part: 後写鏡

61 notices in this register name 後写鏡. 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 Volkswagen: 180 in the register, and 371 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2024.

The badge is free to use. It links to this page and nowhere else, and it never shows advertising.

Owners of these cars

No register publishes what happens after the letter. Owners do: tell us, in two taps.
