On certain vehicles with stand up right hand drive conversion, the cross shaft connecting the right hand steering column to the left hand steering column is equipped with a mitre box and u-joint at each side of the shaft with keyways at each connection. These keys can work loose and fall out, resulting in a loss of steering on the right hand side without prior warning to the driver. Correction: Dealers will replace the cross shaft assembly.

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.
