What the ministry says is wrong
原動機において、シリンダーヘッドの燃料配管取付部の穴開け加工が不適切なため、穴の径が大きいものがある。そのため、ねじ山が正確に加工できず、燃料配管取付ボルトの締付力が低くなり走行振動等によって緩み、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、燃料配管ががたついて燃料が漏れ、最悪の場合、火災に至るおそれがある。What is to be done about it
全車両、シリンダーヘッドを良品と交換する。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.
