What the ministry says is wrong

ターン/ライトスイッチにおいて、取付剛性不足のため、スイッチ操作によりコネクターの端子が摩耗し、その摩耗屑が酸化して絶縁物が生成されるものがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、絶縁物が端子の間にかみ込み、導通不良となり、前照灯、車幅灯、前部霧灯、尾灯、番号灯および当該スイッチ連動の車室内照明が不灯、あるいは点滅、または、方向指示器が不灯となるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、コネクター端子部(二箇所)にグリースを塗布する。

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.
