THE ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED MOTOR PUMP POWER STEERING SYSTEM MAY MALFUNCTION, RESULTING IN INTERMITTENT LOSS OF POWER ASSIST. WHEN POWER ASSIST FAILS, THE VEHICLE MAY BE MANUALLY STEERED, HOWEVER, SINCE POWER STEERING ASSIST MAY COME BACK SUDDENLY AFTER THE LOSS OF POWER ASSIST HAS OCCURRED, IT CAN CONCEIVABLY LEAD TO LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL.
CORRECTION: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A NEW MODIFIED SIGNAL CONTROLLER AND POWER CONTROLLER ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.

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 Subaru: 151 in the register, and 169 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 1992.
