What the ministry says is wrong

原動機のコネクティングロッドにおいて、製造時に誤って歪み矯正を行ったため、強度が低下しているものがある。そのため、使用過程においてコネクティングロッドが破損し、原動機が停止して走行不能になるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、良品のコネクティングロッドが組み込まれた原動機一式と交換する。

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.
