What the ministry says is wrong
運転者席の座面と背もたれの角度を調整するシートリクライナーのアッパーボルトの取付 方法及びロアボルトのネジ形状が不適切なため、背もたれへの高荷重が繰り返し与えられ た場合、これらのボルトが変形し、背もたれのガタまたは異音が発生する。そのため、そ のまま使用を続けると、最悪の場合、これらのボルトが折損して背もたれが後方へ倒れ運 転操作が出来なくなるおそれがある。What is to be done about it
全車両、対策品のボルト（含むブッシュ）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.

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 231 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2003.
