What the ministry says is wrong

応急用スペアタイヤを車体下部に固定する装置において、ブラケットの設計が不適切なため、走行中の振動によりブラケットと巻き上げケーブルが接触し磨耗することがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、ケーブルが破断して当該装置のタイヤ固定具が外れ、応急用スペアタイヤが脱落するおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、応急用スペアタイヤ固定装置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.
