Japan — Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism

What the ministry says is wrong

 かじ取り装置のリレーロッドの強度が不足しているため、ハンドルの据え切り操作等の 操舵力が高くなる使用を頻繁に長期間続けると亀裂が生じるものがある。そのため、その まま使用を続けると亀裂が進行し、最悪の場合、リレーロッドが折損し操舵ができなくな るおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、リレーロッド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.
