What the ministry says is wrong

第一減速機のリングギヤ取付部の強度が不足しているため、差動機の左側サイドギヤとの摺動面が磨耗する場合がある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、第二減速機の駆動軸が軸方向に押され、駆動軸の抜け止めボルトが折損し、最悪の場合、駆動軸が車輪ごと抜け出て、走行できなくなるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、 ①リングギヤを対策品と交換するとともにサイドギヤとの摺動面に表面強化熱処理を施したスラストプレートを追加する。 ②左側サイドギヤを新品と交換する。 ③リングギヤ取付部の磨耗深さが4mm以上の場合、駆動軸の抜け止めボルトを点検し、異常が認められた場合、当該ボルトを新品と交換する。

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

日立 elsewhere in this register

日立 is named on 95 notices in the copy of MLIT’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

The same part: アクスル

91 notices in this register name アクスル. 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 Hitachi: 96 in the register, and 371 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2007.
