What the ministry says is wrong

 リヤアクスルのセンターアームとナックルを連結するタイロッドのボールジョイント取 付け用キャッスルナットの締付トルクが不足しているため、ハンドル操作を繰り返し行う と、当該キャッスルナットに緩みが発生するものがある。そのため、最悪の場合、ボール ジョイントのネジ部が破損してボールジョイントが脱落し、操舵不能になるおそれがある 。

What is to be done about it

 全車両、キャッスルナットを規定トルクまで増締めする。なお、ボールジョイント取付 部に損傷のあるものについては、ボールジョイント,キャッスルナット,センターアーム を新品と交換のうえ、キャッスルナットを規定トルクで締付ける。

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

T C M elsewhere in this register

T C M is named on 57 notices in the copy of MLIT’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

The same part: かじ取リンク機構

149 notices in this register name かじ取リンク機構. 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 TCM: 58 in the register, and 511 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2004.
