What the ministry says is wrong
制動灯の制御回路において、制動灯用スイッチに一部製造不良のものがあり、そのままの 状態で使用を続けると電子回路が故障し、最悪の場合、ブレーキペダルの操作とは関係な く、制動灯が点滅もしくは点灯し続けてしまうおそれがある。What is to be done about it
全車両点検し、制動灯スイッチが不良品に該当する場合には良品と交換する。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 BMW Alpina: 62 in the register, and 228 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2000.
