On certain vehicles, incorrect torque may have been applied to the clamp bolts for the drag link, tie rods and torque rods which may result in either over or under torqued bolts. This can lead to the clamps becoming loose causing motion between the mating parts. Over a period of time, this could lead to misalignment of the steering/axles and ultimately component damage which could result in lack of driver control. Correction: Dealer will replace the clamp bolts and torque to specs.
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 2004120.

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: 449 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2004.
