Japan — Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism

What the ministry says is wrong

 燃料装置において、燃料タンクを取り付ける工程が不適切なため、燃料タンク前側取付 けナットの締付け力が不十分なものがあり、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、当該ナッ トが緩んで脱落し、最悪の場合、燃料タンクの後側取付部付近に亀裂が発生し、燃料が漏 れるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

 全車両、燃料タンク前側取付部を点検し、取付部にガタの無いものは燃料タンク取付け ナットを正規トルクで締付け、取付部にガタが有るものは燃料タンクアッセンブリを新品 と交換する。

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.
