What the ministry says is wrong

エンジン始動/停止スイッチにおいて、表面に記載されている文字の字体が不適切なため、手汗などの油脂成分が付着すると、表面に施されたクロームコーティングの接着性が低下し、当該コーティングの一部が剥がれるものがある。そのため、スイッチを操作する際に文字の鋭角部分に触れると、指先が負傷するおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、エンジン始動/停止スイッチの文字の字体を点検し、対象となるものは対策品と交換する。

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: 始動装置

105 notices in this register name 始動装置. 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 497 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2018.

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.
