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

かじ取り装置において、ナックルアームとステアリングシリンダ又はタイロッドを連結するボールジョイントの取付け部の強度が不足しているため、作業中の衝撃等の過大な負荷が繰返し作用することにより、当該ボールジョントを取付けるナットまたはボルトがゆるむものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると最悪の場合、ボールジョイントが脱落し操舵ができなくなるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、ボールジョイント、ナックルアーム及びステアリングシリンダを交換する。なお、対策品の供給に時間を要すことから、当面の暫定処置として全ての使用者に不具合の内容を通知して、長期間使用している車両よりナックルアームの摩耗及びボールジョイントの亀裂を点検し、異常が認められる車両は対策品と交換し、異常のない車両は後日対策品と交換する。

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.

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

小松 elsewhere in this register

小松 is named on 79 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 Komatsu: 297 in the register, and 427 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2005.
