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

What the ministry says is wrong

エンジンの吸気側バルブスプリングにおいて、スプリング荷重の設定が不適切なため、吸気バルブの閉じ力が弱く、吸気バルブとバルブシート間に挟まる煤を押し潰すことができず、圧縮不良となることがある。そのため、エンジン回転が不安定になり、最悪の場合、エンジンが停止するおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、吸気側バルブスプリングを対策品と交換する。なお、交換に時間を要すため、年式の古い車両から順次交換する。

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.
