What the ministry says is wrong

樹脂製燃料タンクの内圧調整用チェックバルブ(調整弁)において、異品が装着されているため、圧力調整が適切に行われず燃料タンクが膨張し、タイヤと接触する場合がある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、燃料タンクが損傷し、最悪の場合燃料が漏れるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、チェックバルブを正規品に交換する。又、燃料タンクに接触の跡が有るものは新品の燃料タンクに交換する。

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.
