On certain vehicles a rubber grommet from the trailer light line connector is missing. Kenworth chassis equipped with trailer connections are experiencing corrosion at the 7-way trailer connector with the light line because of the missing grommet, which causes intermittent flashing/flickering of the trailer lights. The elimination of this grommet allowed water to enter the connection and begin corroding, which can cause a short and/or possible fire hazard. Correction: Dealer will install the missing grommet and if a connector is found defective, it will be replaced.
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 2003034.

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 T2000, 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 350 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2003.
