Japan — Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism

What the ministry says is wrong

低床式後2軸駆動車の動力伝達装置において、後前軸と後後軸間の推進軸の接手の締付け が不適切なため、後後軸の終減速機との取付部(コンパニオンフランジ)が摩耗し、当該 フランジを締付けているキャッスルナットがゆるみ、そのままの状態で使用をつづけると 、キャッスルナットの回り止めの割ピンが折損して当該ナットが脱落、コンパニオンフラ ンジが抜け出し、最悪の場合、当該推進軸が脱落して走行不能となるおそれがある。 備考:終減速比 2.785 2.923 搭載車

What is to be done about it

全車両コンパニオンフランジ及びキャッスルナットを対策品に交換する。

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.
