Certain vehicles were produced with a body wiring harness with no protective conduit in the area under the driver's feet. The higher the frequency of operators entering and exiting the vehicles, the higher the potential for harness wear. The body wiring harness includes SDM (Sensing Diagnostic Module) wiring could be damaged from chaffing and wear by vehicle operators, which can result in inadvertent airbag deployment. A person may receive minor injuries, such as abrasions, from contact with the bag. Correction: Dealers will inspect the wiring harness for potential damage, repair or replace the harness if required and add conduit to all harnesses.
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 2005065.

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 GMC: 561 in the register, and 404 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2005.
