On certain vehicles, the windshield wipers may become inoperative under excess load conditions (such as snow, ice or debris) due to insufficient electrical carrying capacity in the wiper control module circuitry. Inoperative windshield wipers may reduce driver visibility during inclement weather and dirty conditions. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the wiper control module with a redesigned module on all affected vehicles.
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 2000121.

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 Mercury: 243 in the register, and 311 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2000.
