Certain motorcycles may have been produced with defective fuel shut-off valves. The functionality of the ON position and the RESERVE position of the valve may have been reversed. Consequently, when the control handle of the valve is set in the ON position the valve actually selects the RESERVE position fuel flow path. If a bike operated with the valve in the ON position begins to run out of fuel, the expected fuel reserve will not be available. If this occurs it could create a quit while riding situation which could lead to a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the fuel valve.
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 2005026.

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 Harley-Davidson: 145 in the register, and 404 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2005.
