What the ministry says is wrong
灯火装置の前照灯スイッチにおいて、当該スイッチの内部構造が不適切なため、そのまま の状態で使用を続けると、スイッチ内部の接点で電気抵抗が増加し、最悪の場合、スイッ チが過熱して火災に至るおそれがある。What is to be done about it
全車両、当該前照灯のスイッチを対策品と交換するとともに、配線コネクタを良品と交換 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 129 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 1998.
