Certain Eiger and Vinson ATVs were assembled with fuel tanks having an incorrect fuel petcock insert. With the incorrect insert, the originally specified bolts affixing the fuel petcock to the fuel tank are too long and can bottom-out in the insert before the fuel petcock is securely clamped to the fuel tank. If the fuel petcock is not securely clamped to the fuel tank, fuel leakage could occur. Correction: Dealers will replace the 16 mm long fuel petcock mounting bolts and bolt gaskets with 14 mm long bolts and new bolt gaskets.
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 2004375.

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 Suzuki: 132 in the register, and 449 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2004.
