What the notice says 緩衝装置において、後輪サスペンションのアッパーアーム及びロアアームとトレーリング アームとの連結部のボールジョイントの材質が不適切なため、当該ジョイント部に錆が発 生し、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、当該ジョイントが固着し、アッパーアーム又は ロアアームに亀裂が生じて異音が発生することがあり、最悪の場合、アームが破損して正 常な走行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.
