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

What the ministry says is wrong

路線バスの燃料タンクにおいて、燃料タンクの緩衝ラバーの形状が不適切なため、燃料タンクバンドを締め付けると、燃料タンクの端部に過大な応力が発生することがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、車両走行時の振動等により燃料タンクに亀裂が入り、最悪の場合、燃料が漏れるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、緩衝ラバーと燃料タンクブラケットを対策品に交換するとともに、燃料タンクと燃料タンクバンドを新品に交換する。

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.

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.
