What the ministry says is wrong
かじ取装置において、左フロントのステアリングナックルの製造工程が不適切なため、内部に鋳巣が発生し、当該ステアリングナックルの強度が不足しているものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、悪路走行時等の衝撃により、当該ナックルが破損し、最悪の場合、操舵不能となるおそれがある。What is to be done about it
全車両、左フロントのステアリングナックルの製造番号を確認し、対象となる場合は、良品に交換する。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 smart: 11 in the register, and 425 Japanese vehicle recall notifications filed in 2017.
