Japan — Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism

What the ministry says is wrong

 燃料装置において、過給機のない電子制御式燃料噴射方式の原動機に使用している燃料 ホースの材料が不適切なため、高温により当該ホースの柔軟性が低下するものがあり、そ のままの状態で使用を続けると、原動機の振動等により、燃料ホースと燃料噴射装置の結 合部から燃料が漏れることがあり、最悪の場合、火災に至るおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

 全車両、燃料ホース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.
