THE FASTENERS WHICH JOIN THE REAR AXLE BRAKE DRUMS TO THE WHEELS WERE NOT TIGHTENED TO THE PROPER TORQUE DUE TO A SPECIFICATION ERROR. THIS COULD LEAD TO A LOOSENING CONDITION AND SUBSEQUENT DAMAGE TO THE DRUM AND BRAKES OF THE AFFECTED WHEEL. IN THE CASE OF AVEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH AIR BRAKES, STOPPING DISTANCES WOULD BE INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY. A VEHICLE EQUIPED WITH HYDRAULIC BRAKES COULD SUFFER A TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKING CAPABILITY. THIS CAN CAUSE A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.

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 Ihc: 82 in the register, and 122 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 1983.
