What the ministry says is wrong

後輪制動装置において、ブレーキケーブル周りの防水構造が不適切なため、雨天時の走行等により、当該ケーブル内部に水が浸入することがある。そのため、外気温が氷点下の環境において当該ケーブル内部に滞留した水が凍結し、最悪の場合、ブレーキ操作ができなくなるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、後輪制動用ブレーキケーブル内をエアブローして水分を除去し、後輪用ブレーキレバーにカバーレバーを追加する。

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.

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.
