What the ministry says is wrong

原動機の吸気を圧縮する可変ノズル付ターボ過給機において、ターボ過給機の吸気圧縮側 の翼の形状が不適切なため、ターボ過給機を最高回転付近で使用を続けると当該翼の一部 が破損して異音、白煙が発生し、最悪の場合、エンジンの出力が低下するおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

対策品の供給に時間を要するため、全車両、当面の暫定対策として、ターボ過給機の吸気 圧縮側の翼を点検し、破損のあるものについては良品と交換する。また、後日車両、当該 翼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.
