What the ministry says is wrong
車体にかじとり装置を固定するブラケット(金具)の溶接工程において、生産準備のために試作した部品の処置が不適切なため、正規品の中に混入した可能性がある。そのため、ハンドル操作時に当該溶接部が剥がれて、異音が発生し、最悪の場合、ハンドル位置が急激に下がって操作が困難になるおそれがある。What is to be done about it
全車両、当該ブラケットを含む車体部品を良品に交換する。また、良品と交換するまでの間、運転時の注意事項を使用者に周知する。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.
