Certain transit buses equipped with Arvin Meritor "W-Series" air-actuated brake cam rollers. These rollers were installed as original equipment and also sold as replacement parts. The affected brake rollers may fracture if subjected to high application loadings. If one or more of the affected brake rollers fracture, proper brake application could be compromised, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect brake rollers and replace them if necessary.
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 2001172.

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 Nova Bus: 131 in the register, and 301 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2001.
