What the ministry says is wrong
かじ取り装置の連結部に使用しているボ－ルジョイントの球部と球受部の間に挿入され ている樹脂製シ－トの形状が不適切なため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、当該球部 と球受部が固着することにより連結棒（タイロッド）が折損し、前輪と操縦装置の接続が 外れ、操舵性を損なうおそれがある。What is to be done about it
全車両、ボ－ルジョイント（タイロッド組込品）を対策品と交換する。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 Ford: 125 in the register, and 78 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 1996.
