On certain all terrain vehicles. the hydraulic brake system was inadevertently topped off with spindle oil during assembly. Spindle oil will contaminate the hydraulic brake fluid and damage the rubber components of the brake system. This can reduce braking capacity and result in longer than normal stopping distances. Correction: Brake fluid will be inspected for contamination and, if necessary, the brake system will be repaired.

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 Honda: 362 in the register, and 240 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 1999.
