What the ministry says is wrong

 燃料装置において、生産工場での検査における部品脱着時の組み付けが不適切なため、 燃料ホース接続部のクランプおよび燃料タンク上部のシールが正しく取り付けられていな いものがあり、当該接続部およびシール部から燃料が漏れるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

 全車両、燃料ホース接続部及び燃料タンク上部を点検し、組み付けが不適切なものは、 当該燃料ホース、クランプおよび燃料タンクシールを新品と交換する。

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. CarsMultiverse is not the ministry and not a safety authority. To act on this notice, use the ministry's own document.
