What the ministry says is wrong

かじ取ハンドルを固定するステアリングコンソールにおいて、運転姿勢等に合わせてかじ取ハンドルの角度を調節するための支点となるシャフトの固定方法が不適切なため、当該シャフトを固定しているビスが走行中の振動により緩むものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、ビスが脱落し、最悪の場合、当該シャフトが抜け出してブレーキペダルの操作を妨げるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、シャフト一式を対策品に交換する。

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.

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.
