Japan’s transport ministry is conducting a second probe of GS Yuasa Corp.’s headquarters in Kyoto and sent a team to a U.K. supplier to investigate faults that have grounded Boeing Co.’s 787 Dreamliner fleet.

Officials returned to offices in Kyoto today after a first inspection was undertaken yesterday with U.S. regulators, Akihiro Ohta, Japan’s transport minister, told reporters in Tokyo. Investigators were also sent to the U.K. to probe a valve actuator maker for the 787, he said, without identifying the company.
