What the ministry says is wrong

ブレーキ用エアパイプの取り回しが不適切なため、悪路等の走行による大きな振動を受けると、当該パイプに高応力が発生するものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用をつづけると、当該パイプに亀裂が発生してエアが漏れ、最悪の場合、亀裂が拡大し、走行中にスプリング式駐車制動装置が作動するおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、当該エアパイプを点検し、対策品が未装着の車両については、エアパイプを対策品と交換し、固定金具を位置変更、並びに追加装着する。

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.
