What the ministry says is wrong

かじ取装置のステアリングダンパーにおいて、取りつけブラケットに亀裂が入り、ステアリングダンパーを保持できなくなるものがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、ステアリングダンパーがラジエターと干渉し、最悪の場合、かじ取り操作ができなくなるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

暫定措置として、全車両、ステアリングダンパーを取外す。

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.
