What the ministry says is wrong

エンジンの各シリンダに取付けられているグロープラグにおいて、製造工程が不適切なため、グロープラグ内部で電気的短絡が発生して損傷する場合がある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用をつづけると、エンジン始動性の悪化、運転中の振動・異音の発生、グロープラグの損傷箇所からシリンダ内のガスが外部へ漏出するなどの事象が発生するおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、グロープラグを改良品に交換する。

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.
