On certain Passport I-Mark turbo, the pcv valve may provide inadequate air flow under low engine load conditions. This can allow a water/oil mixture to build up in the hose from the oil separator to the air inlet duct. After the engine is stopped, the water/oil mixture can, under cold weather conditions, freeze and block the separator to air duct hose. This could cause increased crankcase pressure and oil leaks. If a sufficient quantity of oil contacts the hot exhaust system, an engine compartment fire could result without prior warning. Correction: PCV valve will be replaced with a newly designed valve.
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 1988042.

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 Passport: 10 in the register, and 174 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 1988.
