Certain tires do not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 109. The sidewall markings on the P195/60R15 tires incorrectly state: Max Load 470 kg (1036 lbs) Max Pres 240 kpa (35 psi). Instead, the tires should have been marked: Max Load 540 kg (1190 lbs) Max Pres 240 kpa (35 psi). The sidewall marking on the P205/60R15 tires incorrectly state: Max Load 510 kg (1124 lbs) Max Pres 240 kpa (35 psi). Instead, the tires should have been marked: Max Load 590 kg (1301 lbs) Max Pres 240 kpa (35 psi). Correction: Since the capacity of both tires is understated at the marked inflation pressure of 35 psi, this does not pose any safety risk, therefore no corrective action is required.
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 2004271.

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 Michelin: 21 in the register, and 449 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2004.
