Is your vehicle included? Check with your VIN at MLIT, or ask a dealer. This page is an independent copy of the notice, kept so you can see what changed after it was published. It is not the authority, and the authority’s own text is the one to act on.

What the ministry says is wrong

ホイール・クレーンのかじ取り装置において、タイロッドエンドのクランプボルトの締め付けトルクが不適切なため、締め付け力が低下するものがある。そのため、タイロッドエンド部のねじ部にガタが生じ、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、タイロッドエンド部のネジ山が損傷して、最悪の場合、タイロッドエンド部からタイロッドが抜けて操舵不能になるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、タイロッド一式を対策品に交換する。なお、対策品の準備に時間を要することから点検を実施し、緊急度の高い車両を優先して交換する。

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

カトウ elsewhere in this register

カトウ is named on 61 notices in the copy of MLIT’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

The same part: かじ取リンク機構

149 notices in this register name かじ取リンク機構. 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 Kato: 61 in the register, and 419 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2016.
