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

What the ministry says is wrong

後2軸大型トラックの後々軸(非駆動軸)アクスルハウジングの溶接が不適切なため、当該溶接部に亀裂が発生するものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、最悪の場合、当該アクスルハウジングが折損し、ブレーキの過熱やタイヤとフレームの接触が生じて、火災に至るおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、当該アクスルハウジングの製造番号を確認し、該当するものは内側溶接部の点検を行い、不具合の認められるものは良品と交換する。

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.
