What the ministry says is wrong
車軸に動力を伝達する推進軸において、自在継手の加工が不適切なため強度が不足しているものがあり、作業中の高負荷の繰り返しにより当該継手軸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、亀裂が進行して、最悪の場合、自在継手が折損して走行できなくなるおそれがある。What is to be done about it
車両、当該推進軸一式を良品と交換する。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.
