What the ministry says is wrong

前車軸の強度に余裕が少ないため、キングピン穴部が摩耗し、キングピン穴とキングピンの隙間(ガタ)が整備基準値を超えた状態で使用を続けると、前車軸のナックルストッパ部に亀裂が発生し、最悪の場合、走行不能となるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、前車軸のキングピン穴部とキングピンの隙間(ガタ)を点検し、整備基準値を超えているものは新品に交換するとともに、使用者に対しダイレクトメールにて適切な点検整備方法を周知する。

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.
