IF VEHICLES WERE SUBJECTED TO UNUSUAL JOUNCE CONDITIONS THAT WOULD BE LIKELY TO OCCUR IN OFF-ROAD OPERATIONS, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE DRAG LINK TO STEERING ARM BALL JOINT COULD SEPARATE RESULTING IN LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. DEPENDING ON THE FRONT TIRE SIZES, IT MAY ALSO BE POSSIBLE UNDER CERTAIN JOUNCE CONDITIONS, FOR THE FRONT TIRES TO COME IN CONTACT WITH ADJACENT COMPONENTS CREATING THE POTENTIAL FOR TIRE DAMAGE.

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 160 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 1984.
