Sym LF18W in the other registers
This site holds seven national and European registers. Sym LF18W is named on 1 Israeli notices. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.
The Israeli register
Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

What the ministry says is wrong
番号灯において、樹脂製カバーの材質が不適切なため、長時間使用を続けるとバルブの熱によって当該カバーが溶損し、最悪の場合、車両火災に至るおそれがある。What is to be done about it
全車両、対策品の番号灯に交換する。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.

This site gathered the record, grouped it by notification number and set it in English around the ministry's own words; the notice itself is unaltered. CarsMultiverse is not the ministry and not a safety authority. To act on this notice, use the ministry's own document.

11 notices in this register name 番号灯. A defect that keeps returning under one heading is worth reading as a group rather than one notice at a time.

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: 396 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2014.
