What the ministry says is wrong
車両後部左側オイル・クーラー・ライン・フィード・ホースのエンジン側のゴム部分の長さが不適切なため、エンジンの振動によってゴム部分が周辺部位と擦れることで破損してエンジンオイルが漏れるおそれがある。エンジンオイルが漏れた場合、高温部分に付着して出火したり、漏れの進行により、警告灯が点灯し、最終的にエンジンが損傷するおそれがある。What is to be done about it
全車両、当該オイル・クーラー・ライン・フィード・ホースを対策品に交換する。また、エンジンオイル漏れがある場合には、清掃し必要に応じてエンジンオイルを補充する。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 Lotus: 18 in the register, and 390 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2013.
