Register
Japan — Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism

What the ministry says is wrong

冷却装置のラジエータ・タンク・キャップが不適切なため、そのままの状態で使用を続け ると、最悪の場合、冷却装置内の圧力が上昇し、車室内の冷却装置の継手部から冷却水が 漏れ、最悪の場合、車両前方視界を著しく妨げる等のおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、ラジエータ・タンク・キャップ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.
