Register
Japan — Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism

What the ministry says is wrong

制動装置の後輪ブレーキパイプにおいて、ブレーキパイプを固定する金具に調整代がなかったため、当該ブレーキパイプを固定する際に不整合が生じ、そのままの状態で使用を続けるとブレーキパイプ接手部に亀裂が発生し、ブレーキ液が漏れ、最悪の場合、制動力が低下するおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、固定金具を対策品に交換するとともに、ブレーキパイプを新品に交換し、不整合が生じないようにブレーキパイプを固定する。

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.
