On certain W9000 vehicles manufactured between 10-2-75 and 22-4-75. Pipe plugs incorrectly released for installation in the exhaust port of the trailer air supply valve. When the trailer parking brake is released, air trapped in the trailer air supply valve will prevent a piston in the lower portion of the valve from opening, causing a gradual loss of air pressure in the trailer service brake system with each service brake application, and with no advanced warning to the driver.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 1975050.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, 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 /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Ford: 1,346 in the register, and 117 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 1975.
