Certain vehicles having an intended service code of "Fire Service" and either Type 24 or larger front brake chambers or Type 36 rear brake chambers fail to comply with requirements of C.M.V.S.S. No. 121, "Air Brake Systems." These vehicles were built with a combined air reservoir volume less than 12 times the combined volume of all service chambers. Unusually frequent applications of the air brakes could deplete the available air supply more quickly than expected. Correction: Dealers will install an additional air tank on chassis with a single rear axle. On tandem rear axle chassis, dealer will replace an existing air tank with a larger air tank.
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 2001158.

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 Kenworth: 263 in the register, and 301 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2001.
