Certain vehicles equipped with the 8.1L engine may have a condition where the fuel filter to component box mounting bolts are reversed. With the bolts reversed the threaded bolt end is orientated towards the front wall of the left hand fuel tank. In the event of a frontal collision the bolt could pierce the tank, resulting in fuel leakage which could result in a fire. Correction : Dealers will correctly install the bolts.
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 2002121.

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 GMC: 561 in the register, and 246 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2002.
