On certain all wheel drive vehicles, extended operation at speeds of over 130 KPH may result in structural failure of the transmission/transfer case assembly. This could result in fluid expulsion, driveshaft separation or loss of vehicle drive. Fluid leakage in the presence of an ignition source, could cause a vehicle fire and driveshaft separation may lead to loss of vehicle control. Correction: Transfer case housing will be replaced and steel driveshaft will be replaced with an aluminum driveshaft.

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 Ford: 1,346 in the register, and 240 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 1999.
