The LP tank mounting hardware on the frame rail extension may not rigidly support a full LP tank. The resulting vibration may cause the mounting hardware to become loose and eventually may cause the tank to fall off, which could result in bodily injury and/or property damage. Correction: A frame rail support assembly will be added to the underside of the vehicle to reinforce the frame rail extensions.
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 1997031.

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 Winnebago: 208 in the register, and 243 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 1997.
