On certain P30 and P35 vehicles equipped with i-beam front axles and 16 inch wheels and tires the tie rod end could contact the tire inner wall during combined cornering and braking maneuvers. This contact could cause grooving of the tire and eventually result in tire failure and possible loss of vehicle control. Correction: standard 16 inch wheels and tires will be replaced with 19.5 Inch wheels and tires to increase the clearance nad eliminate contact between the tires and tie rod end.
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 1986093.

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.
