What the notice says かじ取り装置のうち、ピットマンアームのボールジョイント部に潤滑剤（グリース）の 充填が不十分なものがあるため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、当該ボールジョイン ト部が摩耗してピットマンアームから外れ、ハンドル操作ができなくなるおそれがある。 Is your vehicle included? Check with your VIN at MLIT , or ask a dealer. This page is an independent copy of the notice, kept so you can see what changed after it was published. It is not the authority, and the authority’s own text is the one to act on. 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.
