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

What the ministry says is wrong

軌道上を走行できるように改造した車両のプロペラシャフトにおいて、開発時の設計が不適切なため、プロペラシャフトの取付角が改造基準の設計値を超えて組み付けられたものがある。そのため、走行時に過大な負荷がかかり、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、亀裂が生じて折損し、最悪の場合、走行不能となるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、キャスタープレートを取り外し、対策品(板状プレート)を取り付ける。また、プロペラシャフトを良品に交換する。

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.
