On certain vehicles, a protective shield, located on the driver's side underbody may interfere with the proper operation of the vehicle park/emergency brake. If this bracket/shield is located too far forward and inboard on the vehicle, or it is not modified in the appropriate manner, it will impede the park/emergency brake bracket and will not allow the park brake to operate properly when leaving the vehicle, and, will not allow the emergency brake to operate properly in the event of an emergency stop situation. Correction: Bracket will be removed and modified so as to prevent interference with the park/emergency brake.
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 1999055.

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 Leisure Travel Vans: 47 in the register, and 240 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 1999.
