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

What the ministry says is wrong

原動機のカムシャフト駆動用ヘッドアイドラギヤのブッシュの加工が不適切なため、当該ギヤの固定シャフトとブッシュの間にガタが生じ、シャフトつば部の付け根に過大な応力が発生するものがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、つば部が破損してギヤが周辺部品と干渉し、異音が発生する、またはエンジンオイルが漏れ、最悪の場合、当該ギヤの噛み合いが外れて、エンジンが停止し再始動不能となるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、アイドラギヤのブッシュを点検し、内径が規格を外れているものは当該ギヤ一式とシャフトを良品と交換する。

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.
