The American register

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.

On certain vehicles, the upper and lower steering column may be missing a bolt and nut missing. This could cause the steering column to slip out of the mating shaft when the column's adjustment mechanism is used. If this were to happen, steering function would be completely lost. Correction: Dealer will install a bolt and nut if missing. If they are present, dealer will torque to specs.

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 Prevost H3-45 Vip, 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 Prevost: 115 in the register, and 350 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2003.
