What the ministry says is wrong

ブレーキペダルの踏み込み量を計測するポテンショメータにおいて、取付けシャフトの支持方法が不適切なため、当該シャフトが滑らかに動かないものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、ブレーキ操作後にペダルが戻らず、走行不能になるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、ポテンショメータ取付けシャフトを対策品と交換し、支持方法を変更する。

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.
