What the ministry says is wrong

原動機において、カムシャフト駆動用チェーンの強度が不足しているため、そのままの状 態で使用を続けると、当該チェーンの摩耗及び伸びが発生し、最悪の場合、当該チェーン が外れ、原動機が停止するおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、当該カムシャフト駆動用チェーン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.
