What the ministry says is wrong

変速機の冷却装置において、冷却水を制御するソレノイドバルブの内部シールの耐久性が不足しているため、冷却水がソレノイドバルブ内に浸入することがある。そのため、冷却水がソレノイドバルブの配線内部を経由し、エンジンコントロールユニットのコネクタ部に溜まり、最悪の場合、端子間が短絡し、エンストするおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両配線及び端子を点検し、ソレノイドバルブを対策品と交換する。なお、配線及び端子に損傷のあるものは修理を行う。

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.
