Register
Japan — Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism

What the ministry says is wrong

自動変速機搭載車において、トルクコンバータ内部のタービンブレード付け根の形状が不適切なため、高負荷運転を繰返すと、当該付け根のろう付け部が剥離し、タービンブレードが変形するものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、動力伝達効率が低下し、最悪の場合、タービンブレードが破損し、走行不能となるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、自動変速機の製造番号を確認のうえ、対策品が未装着の車両は、自動変速機一式を対策品と交換する。

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.
