What the ministry says is wrong

 加速装置において、スロットルケーブルの防水構造が不適切なため、雨天時の走行等に より、後輪タイヤの跳ね上げた水が当該ケーブル内部に浸入することがある。そのため、 低温時に当該ケーブル内部に浸入した水が凍結し、最悪の場合、アクセルグリップが戻ら なくなり、エンジンの回転が下がらなくなるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、スロットルケーブル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.

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.
