On certain vehicles, the thermostat regulating the temperature of the heated seats has been incorrectly positioned during assembly. The incorrect positioning creates the potential, when the seat heating element is activated, that the surface of the seat reaches an unacceptably high temperature. In extreme cases, this could cause damage to any object in contact with the seat cushion. Correction: An additional control unit will be fitted to each heated seat.
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 1999131.

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 Rolls-Royce: 28 in the register, and 240 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 1999.
