Japan — Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism

What the ministry says is wrong

プロペラ・シャフトを日本向けに短くした車両において、プロペラ・シャフトの溶接が不適切なため、強度が不足しているものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、当該シャフトの溶接箇所に亀裂が発生し、最悪の場合、溶接部が破損し、プロペラ・シャフトが脱落して走行不能となるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

車両、プロペラ・シャフトを良品と交換する。

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.
