What the ministry says is wrong

車両製作工程で制動灯スイッチの接点部に不適切な潤滑剤が付着したため、接点の断続の際に発生する熱により潤滑剤成分が酸化し、当該接点部の接触抵抗が増大するものがある。そのため、接点にはたらく電気負荷が小さいと、当該スイッチが導通不良となり、制動灯及び補助制動灯が点灯しなくなるおそれがある。 (本件は、平成17年2月2日付け「届出番号1350」にてリコール届出を行ったものですが、対象車両を追加し、新たに届出するものです。)

What is to be done about it

全車両、制動灯スイッチを新品に交換する。

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.

This site gathered the record, grouped it by notification number and set it in English around the ministry's own words; the notice itself is unaltered.
