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

What the ministry says is wrong

①かじ取装置のアイドラアームの強度が不足しているため、ステアリングロック位置での  操舵頻度が多い場合、長年の使用により当該アイドラアームに亀裂が生じるものがある  。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けるとアイドラアームが折損し、かじ取操作が  できなくなるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

①全車両、当該アイドラアーム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.
