The American register
Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

Certain heavy duty trucks built between March 5, 2001 and June 4, 2001. Fail to comply with the requirements of C.M. V. S.S. 103, "windshield defrosting and defogging systems." the mode door in a HVAC system can become inoperable. The mode door cam and actuator could bind, causing the cam retaining tabs to shear off. This failure may inhibit the ability to direct air blowing from the HVAC system to the windshield, potentially reducing the driver's visibility. Correction: Dealers will inspect the mode door operation and replace the HVAC cab mode housing assembly 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 2001239.

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 notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Kenworth C500, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
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.
