On certain vehicles equipped with a driveline parking brake, the fasteners that connect the end of the transmission companion flange to the park drum and driveline may loosen. If this is undetected, the fasteners may fatigue and eventually shear off allowing the driveline to separate. Correction: The companion flange fasteners will be inspected for proper torque. If the fasteners are found to be loose they will be replaced. If they are found properly torqued the nuts will be removed, PermaLock added and the nuts will be torqued to specification.
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 1999125.

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 Freightliner: 376 in the register, and 240 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 1999.
