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.

What the ministry says is wrong

 動力伝達装置において、ベベルピニオンとプロペラシャフト取付用ヨークとを連結する ためのボルトのネジ部の加工方法が不適切なため、ネジ山高さが不足し、プロペラシャフ トの引っ張り力に耐えきれずボルトが抜け出し、最悪の場合、ヨーク及びプロペラシャフ トが脱落するおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

 全車両、当該ベベルピニオンシャフトを良品と交換し、新品のボルト、ワッシャーを使 用して組み付ける。

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.

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

コマツ elsewhere in this register

コマツ is named on 216 notices in the copy of MLIT’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

The same part: 駆動力伝達部

136 notices in this register name 駆動力伝達部. A defect that keeps returning under one heading is worth reading as a group rather than one notice at a time.

Reading this against the source

This page is what MLIT published in the recall notices it publishes, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /japan, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.

This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Japanese recalls on a Komatsu: 297 in the register, and 231 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2003.
