What the ministry says is wrong

燃料タンクの防錆処理が不適切なため、溶接の熱によって下地塗料が剥がれているものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、燃料タンクが腐食して燃料が漏れ、最悪の場合、車両火災にいたるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両燃料タンクを点検し、錆の発生があれば燃料タンク一式を対策品に交換する。錆の発生が無い場合は、燃料タンクに防錆処理を施す。

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.
