What the ministry says is wrong

ステアリングシャフトとギヤボックスを連結しているユニバーサルジョイントの締結ボルトに締め付けが不足しているものがある。そのため、据え切り操作を行うと連結部に緩みが生じ、そのままの状態で使用を続けると異音が発生し、最悪の場合、連結部が外れてかじ取り操作ができなくなるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、当該ユニバーサルジョイントを対策品に交換するとともに、締結ボルトを規定トルクで締め付ける。

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.
