On certain vehicles equipped with an manual transmission, the clutch pedal position switch plunger could contact the steering column boot and thereby not be able to extend when the clutch pedal is depressed. In this condition, the vehicle can be started with the transaxle in gear (not in neutral) without the clutch pedal depressed. If the driver is not applying the brake, the vehicle may move unexpectedly and a crash could occur. Correction: Dealers will install a shield to prevent contact between the column boot and the clutch pedal position switch.
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 2000110.

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 an Oldsmobile: 204 in the register, and 311 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2000.
