What the ministry says is wrong

動力伝達装置において、リヤドライブシャフトの製造工程が不適切なため、溶接時にジョイント部を冷す冷却液が溶接の熱で蒸気となり、中空シャフトの内側に付着し、シャフト両端部の溶接部内側に錆が発生するものがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、発進時の高トルク伝達時にシャフトの溶接部に亀裂が発生し、最悪の場合、シャフトが折損し、走行不能となるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、当該ドライブシャフト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.
