On certain propane fueled trucks, a crimp on the housing of the 80 percent shut-off valve at the tank, designed to prevent the valve stem from coming out of the housing may be missing. This allows the valve stem to be turned out beyond the intended limit. Should this occur, the possibility of propane leakage exists. Correction: By means of a specially designed tool, dealers will crimp any valves that may have this condition.
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 1986062.

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 GMC: 561 in the register, and 147 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 1986.
