Register
Japan — Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism

What the ministry says is wrong

窓ふき器(ワイパー)モータ取付部において、排水口の形状が不適切なため、落ち葉等異物を取り除かずに使用すると排水口が詰まる場合がある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、溢れた水がモータ内部や制動灯等の電気配線に浸入し、最悪の場合、ワイパーや制動灯等が作動しなくなるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、排水口の形状を修正するとともにワイパーモータを新品と交換する。また、電気配線を点検し、腐食している場合は新品と交換する。

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.
