Japan — Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism

What the ministry says is wrong

制動装置の空圧回路において、ホース取付接手の工程管理が不適切なため、不良品を取付けた車両を誤って出荷してしまった。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、長期使用により接手に錆等が発生し、空圧回路上のバルブに付着することがあり、最悪の場合、エア漏れが発生し制動力が低下するおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、空圧回路のホース取付接手を良品に交換する。

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.
