What the ministry says is wrong

 番号灯カバーの取り付け部の強度が不足しているため、当該取り付け部に亀裂が発生するものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、当該取り付け部が折損し、脱落し、自動車の後方から白色光が直接視認できるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

 全車両、番号灯カバーを対策品に交換するとともに、ナンバー取付けブラケットと後部のコンビネーションランプの溶接部に補強プレートを追加する。

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.
