What the ministry says is wrong

連節バスの原動機において、高圧燃料噴射パイプの強度が不足しているため当該パイプに亀裂が入り、燃料が漏れるものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、最悪の場合、火災に至るおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、高圧燃料噴射パイプを対策品に交換するとともに、制振ダンパーを追加する。 また、制振ダンパーの追加に伴い、制振ダンパーの取付金具を装着し、燃料リターンパイプ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.
