What the ministry says is wrong

かじ取り装置において、フロントヨークの構造が不適切なため、強度の不足によりフロン トヨークに亀裂が発生することがあり、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、フロントヨー クが破損して走行不能となるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、フロントヨークに補強材を溶接により追加する。

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.
