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.

A defect that keeps returning under one heading is worth reading as a group rather than one notice at a time. 1110170 · 11 December 2003 · Bc-Pf01, Bc-Nf01 · かじ取りホーク 1213970 · 10 April 2007 · KD · かじ取りホーク 1214280 · 27 August 2007 · RH020, CR4, Dra · かじ取りホーク 1215730 · 9 April 200",
