What the ministry says is wrong

燃料タンクにおいて、タンク上面板と波動止め板(バッフルプレート)のスポット溶接に 不良のものがあるため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、当該スポット溶接部に亀裂が 生じ、最悪の場合、燃料漏れが発生するおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、燃料タンクの当該部位を点検し、燃料漏れおよび亀裂の認められるものは良品と 交換する。なお、点検で異常のないものについては、当該部位にシール剤を塗布する。

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.
