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.

What the ministry says is wrong

車両を解錠する際のアンサーバック機能において、コントロールユニットの点灯プログラムが不適切なため、アンサーバック灯火時にすべての灯火ブロックが同時点灯し、アンサーバック終了までに僅かに３秒を超過する。そのため、保安基準に適合しない。

What is to be done about it

全車両、当該コントロールユニットを正しいソフトウェアに書き換える。 なお、上記措置は以下のいずれかにより行う。 －　販売店に入庫し、診断機に接続することにより実施する。 －　準備が整い次第、対象車両へ遠隔配信にて配信し、使用者自身でインストールする。

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

ＭＩＮＩ elsewhere in this register

ＭＩＮＩ is named on 18 notices in the copy of MLIT’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

The same part: その他(保安灯火)

193 notices in this register name その他(保安灯火). 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 MINI: 18 in the register, and 380 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2025.

A small badge that links here and names the register's reference. It costs one line of HTML and needs no key.

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.

Anonymous: no account, no cookie, nothing you type is stored beyond these choices. Figures appear once 3 owners have answered, and are published with the record under CC BY 4.0.
