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

What the ministry says is wrong

動力伝達装置の油圧配管(走行用)において、油圧配管の形状及び配策が不適切なため、油圧脈動による応力を繰り返し受けることで当該配管に亀裂が生じ、当該亀裂部から作動油が漏れる場合がある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、最悪の場合、亀裂が進行することで油圧配管が折損し、作動油による動力の伝達が出来なくなることで走行不能となるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、油圧配管を対策品に交換し、配管固定用クランプを追加する。

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.
