Japan — Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism

What the ministry says is wrong

路線バスの自動変速機において、変速ギヤ位置を制御しているバルブボデーのシフトバルブのリターンスプリングの強度が不足しており、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、当該スプリングが折損するものがある。このため、ギヤ段の変更に支障を生じ、最悪の場合、ギヤ段がニュートラルに固定されて発進できなくなるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、当該リターンスプリングを対策品に交換する。

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.
