On certain aftermarket over-the-rail bedliners manufactured for installation on 1999-2004 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks, the toggle wing assembly used to attach the bedliner to the truck bed is not engaging fully in the stake pocket of the pickup truck. The bedliner can become detached from the pickup while in motion, possibly endangering following motorists or pedestrians. Correction: Owners should return to an authorized Durakon dealer so that the bedliner can be inspected and, if necessary, repaired with a newly designed toggle wing fastening system, or if required, replaced with a new bedliner. These products do not fall within the class of products regulated by the Motor Vehicle Safety Act therefore this action is deemed a voluntary safety improvement campaign.
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 2004132.

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.
