  "excerpt": "M C C Ｇｆ-Ｍｃ０１Ｌ. Published by MLIT as 1212340 on 14 June 2005. Part: 緩衝アーム/ロッド. What the notice says 前輪ロア・アームのフランジ型ボール・ジョイントの気密性が不十分なものがあるため、ボール・ジョイント内に水が浸入しグリスが流出して潤滑不足となり、結合部に錆が発生することがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、結合部が異常に摩耗し、最悪の場合、ボール・ジョイントが脱落して走行不能となるおそれがある。 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. Source: Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism website （出典：国土交通省ウェブサイト）, used under the Public Data License 1.0. 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. CarsMultiverse is not the ministry and not a safety authority. To act on this notice, use the ministry's own document . The Japanese register on this site 176 notices in this register name 緩衝アーム/ロッド. A defect that keeps returning under one heading is worth reading as a group rather than one notice at a time. 1114480 · 7 June 2005 · Kc-Rm211gan, Kk-Rm252gan · 緩衝アーム/ロッド 1114460 · 3 June 2005 · Kc-Bg642g · 緩衝アーム/ロッド 1114651 · 29 June 2005 · P-Ms713n, P-Ms713s, P-Ms715n · 緩衝アーム/ロッド 1114652 · 29 June ",
