What the ministry says is wrong

四輪駆動の小型バスにおいて、燃料フィルターケースの配置が不適切なため、走行中の飛び石等が燃料フィルターケースに当たり、ケースに亀裂が生じることがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、亀裂が進行し燃料が漏れ、最悪の場合、火災に至るおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、燃料フィルターケースの前側に鉄製の保護板を追加する。また、燃料フィルターケースを点検し、飛び石等による損傷が認められたものは、燃料フィルターケースを新品に交換する。

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.
