What the ministry says is wrong
歩行者頭部保護システムの光ファイバー回路センサーの設定値が不適切なため、当該自動車の前面が歩行者に衝突した際に、歩行者頭部保護システムのアクティブエンジンフードが作動しないおそれがある。What is to be done about it
全車両、当該光ファイバー回路センサーユニットを良品と交換する。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 BMW: 409 in the register, and 303 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2011.
