What the ministry says is wrong

運転席シートヒーターにおいて、電線の配索が不適切なため、電線どうしが接触する場合がある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、当該電線がショートし、最悪の場合、シートクッションの一部が焦げるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、当該シートヒーター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.

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.
