What the ministry says is wrong
燃料装置において、エンジン運転検査時に変質した燃料を使用したため、キャブレター の加速ポンプ室内のダイヤフラムが侵され膨潤しているものがあり、そのままの状態で使 用を続けるとダイヤフラムが破損し、加速ポンプのロッド上部のブーツ部から燃料が漏れ るおそれがある。What is to be done about it
全車両、ダイヤフラムを新品と交換する。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.

Reading this against the source
This page is what MLIT published in the recall notices it publishes, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /japan, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Japanese recalls on a Kawasaki: 90 in the register, and 231 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2003.
