What the ministry says is wrong

イグニッションスイッチにおいて、接点部に使用するグリスが不適切なため、可動接点が固定接点から離れる際のアーク放電の熱によりグリスが炭化することがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、グリスの絶縁性の低下と可動接点の摩耗による金属粉の堆積により接点間が導通し、発熱することでグリスが発煙し、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、イグニッションスイッチを対策品に交換する。

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.
