What the ministry says is wrong
かじ取り装置のうち、ピットマンアームのボールジョイント部に潤滑剤（グリース）の 充填が不十分なものがあるため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、当該ボールジョイン ト部が摩耗してピットマンアームから外れ、ハンドル操作ができなくなるおそれがある。What is to be done about it
全車両、当該ボールジョイント部を点検し、グリースを充填するとともに、損傷してい るものはピットマンアームを新品と交換する。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.

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 106 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 1997.
