Japan — Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism

What the ministry says is wrong

 灯火装置において、制動灯用電気回路のリレーの接点の通電抵抗容量の設定が不適切な ため、制動操作の繰り返しにより接点の表面が荒れ、接点が引っ掛かりまたは固着して、 制動灯が点灯したままとなるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

 全車両、制動灯用電気回路のリレー及びリレーボックスを対策品と交換する。

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.
