What the ministry says is wrong

電動制御ユニットの高電圧システムの絶縁モニタリング機能において、設計検討が不十分なため、電動駆動ユニット内のブラシモジュールとベアリングシールド間に異物が付着して絶縁不良が発生した場合に、絶縁抵抗の異常箇所を正しく検知できないことがある。そのため、回路全体に絶縁抵抗異常が発生していると誤認識することで、高電圧バッテリーシステムをシャットダウンして走行停止し、再始動できないおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、絶縁モニタリング機能のソフトウェアを対策プログラムに書き換える。 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。 なお、ZAA-42DU44のみソフトウェアの準備に時間を要することから、不具合内容を周知し、準備でき次第、改めて連絡する。

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.

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: コンピュータ(動力伝達)

14 notices in this register name コンピュータ(動力伝達). 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 380 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2025.
