What the ministry says is wrong

前後進の切換スイッチ及び速度の切換スイッチの電気回路が不適切なため、切り換え操作を繰返し行うと、当該スイッチの接点が磨耗し、接触不良となることがある。そのため、スイッチを操作をしても電流が流れず、走行できなくなるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、前後進の切換スイッチ及び速度の切換スイッチの電気回路にリレーを追加する。また、前後進の切換スイッチ及び速度の切換スイッチを点検し、電気特性が異常な場合は、新品と交換する。

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.
