Japan — Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism

What the ministry says is wrong

燃料タンクに備えられている水抜き弁において、取り付け角度が不適切なため、悪路走行時に当該水抜き弁の操作レバーが路面等と接触する場合がある。そのため、当該水抜き弁が開き燃料が漏れるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、水抜き弁の取り付け角度を変更する。

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.

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.
