On certain ambulances equipped with the Smart Display electrical system containing Field-Effect Transistor (FET) output boards, the power distribution panel for the Smart Display are equipped with type 1 circuit protection. This allows the board to shut down if an over-heating condition or an over-current condition is detected. As the board cools down, it comes back on, allowing the board to continually cycle leading to possible failure. As a result, the board could overheat or melt down, which could cause a fire. Correction: Dealers will install a new transistor FET board that contains type 2 circuit protection.
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 2005133.

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: 404 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2005.
