On certain motorcycles, the footrest mounting brackets can bend, crack or break due to improper heat treatment of the bracket during manufacture. Repeated shock from jumping, etc. can cause failure of the bracket which in turn could result in loss of driver control. Correction: Motorcycles will be inspected and, if required, reinforcement plates will be added to the footrest brackets and the brackets will be heat treated.

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 Suzuki: 132 in the register, and 255 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 1998.
