Puppet is correct, there was never and will never be a official Xbox recall in Japan. This just goes to show you that the videogame media has once again blown everything out of proportion.
Let’s see the real facts:

"Albeit available in Japan for less than a month, Microsoft's Xbox has been besieged with negative press. More unfortunate however, much of the criticism has resulted from a misunderstanding regarding hardware defects affecting less than 1 percent of all Japanese consoles. Painted into a proverbial corner, Microsoft's Japanese director Hirohisa Oura has taken the offensive. Specifically, he recently agreed to answer some daunting questions regarding Microsoft's strategy for the Japanese market and the Xbox overall."
Microsoft is actually ending up being the nice guy here. Even if your Japanese Xbox is not defective they are still willing to replace the drivers free of charge.
