What the ministry says is wrong

制動装置のストロークセンサ付制動力制御装置(ABS:アンチロックブレーキングシス テム)装着車両において、制動灯スイッチ接点部にグリースが付着したものがあり、その ままの状態で使用を続けると、最悪の場合、グリースの炭化により当該スイッチのオン・ オフ切換用樹脂部品が溶損し、制動灯が点灯したまま又は不灯になるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、当該制動灯スイッチを良品と交換するとともに、制動灯回路にリレーを追加する 。

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.
