What the ministry says is wrong

ブレーキマスターシリンダーにおいて、製造工程におけるロッキングピンとバルブタペットの組み付けが不適切なため、ブレーキの繰り返しの操作により、バルブタペットが折損してロッキングピンが脱落するおそれのあるものがある。このため、シリンダーの摺動が阻害され、最悪の場合ブレーキが効かなくなるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、ブレーキマスターシリンダーの製造日を確認し、対象となるものは良品と交換する。

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.
