On certain vehicles, the double check valve incorporated into the Manifold Dash Valve becomes brittle over time and cracks. This crack does not permit the double check valve from protecting either the primary or secondary system pressures in the event of a single point failure of one of the two circuits. This can result in loss of all service braking when there is another failure in the system. Correction: Brake valve will be removed and replaced. Update: no Canadian vehicles affected.
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 2000179.

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 311 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2000.
