What the ministry says is wrong

前輪ハブと油圧走行モーターの締結部に塗装が施されているものがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、塗膜の変形又は剥落によって締結ボルトが緩み、最悪の場合、車輪が脱落し走行不能となるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、塗膜の有無確認を行い、塗膜の有った場合にはその除去を行う。また、既に塗膜によりボルトに緩みが発生し、ハブ及び締結ボルトに損傷がある場合には当該部品を新品に交換する。

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.
