On certain vehicles, vibration from the engine and driveline during prolonged high-rpm usage could cause the rear master cylinder reservoir to agitate, resulting in brake fluid aeration. If the rear brake is applied while the fluid is aerated, a small amount of air bubbles can enter the master cylinder, affecting rear brake performance. Reduced brake performance could result in loss of control and an accident with injury or death. Correction: Dealer will install a brake reservoir damper kit.

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 Yamaha: 146 in the register, and 449 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2004.
