What the ministry says is wrong

騒音防止装置の遮音板の耐熱性が不十分なため、また、排気管のつなぎ部の締付け方法が 不適切なため、排気ガスが漏れて当該遮音板にすすが付着することにより、最悪の場合、 遮音板が焼損し、車両火災に至るおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両点検し、当該遮音板を耐熱性のある改善品に、また、排気管のつなぎ部の締付け金 具を改善品にそれぞれ交換するともに、キャブの下面に遮熱板を追加する。また、排気管 のつなぎ部も良品と交換する。

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.
