What the ministry says is wrong

 燃料タンクにおいて、給油時に内圧によるタンクから注入口への燃料の戻りを防止する バルブ(逆止弁)の組付けに不適切なものがあるため、高温時等でタンクの内圧が非常に 高くなった時、キャップを急に開けると注入口から燃料の一部がこぼれ出るおそれがある 。

What is to be done about it

 全車両、燃料タンクの当該バルブを点検し、不適切なものはバルブを修正、または燃料 タンクを良品と交換する。

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.
