Certain vehicles may not comply with CMVSS 103 - Windshield Defrosting and Defogging. On vehicles with electronic comfort control air conditioning, the display on the control may not function when staring a vehicle which has been parked, with the ignition off, for a few hours. If this occurs at the same time that windshield defrosting is desired, the fan may not function. Correction: Electronic comfort control assembly will be replaced.
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 1989115.

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 an Oldsmobile: 204 in the register, and 178 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 1989.
