What the ministry says is wrong

かじ取り装置において、ステアリングギアボックスとステアリングナックルアームを接続 するアルミニウム製の継手部に強度不足のものがあるため、そのままの状態で使用を続け ると、当該継手部が外れ、最悪の場合、操舵ができなくなるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、当該継手部の材質を点検し、アルミニウム製の継手が装着されていた場合は、鉄 製の継手と交換する。

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.
