On certain livestock and horse steel gooseneck trailers, inadequate reinforcement of certain components of the trailer's gooseneck assembly can, over time, lead to failure of the assembly. Failure of the gooseneck while the trailer is being operated could result in separation from the towing vehicle, which could result in a crash. Correction: Dealers will install a reinforcement plate to the side of the frame tube and corner brace plate in the front corners of the gooseneck. Also, if needed, an additional cross tube will be added above the coupler assembly.
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 2004289.

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 Featherlite: 9 in the register, and 449 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2004.
