Japan — Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism

What the ministry says is wrong

 右ハンドル車において、ブレーキ倍力装置の負圧ホースの成形が不適切なため、当該ホ ースの中間に取り付けられたチェックバルブ(逆流防止弁)の取付部に負荷がかかって折 損し、ブレーキ倍力装置が働かなくなり、通常の踏力ではブレーキの効きが悪くなるおそ れがある。

What is to be done about it

 全車両、当該ホース及びチェックバルブを対策品と交換する。

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.

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.
