On certain school and commercial minibuses built on Ford E350 & E450 chassis with the optional BBX battery box, the battery fusible link was omitted during assembly. Without the protection of a fusible link, in the event of an electrical short, the positive battery cable could overheat and fail. If the battery cable fails, an electrical short could result in an underhood fire. Correction: Dealers will install a fusible link.
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 2005020.

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 Girardin: 50 in the register, and 404 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2005.
