What the ministry says is wrong
燃料タンクの給油口において、製造時の成型加工が不適切なため、タンクキャップとの合わせ面に隙間の開いているものがある。そのため、ブレーキ時などの車体の傾斜により、当該合わせ面から燃料が漏れるおそれがある。What is to be done about it
全車両、燃料タンクを良品と交換する。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 335 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2008.
