Certain trailers do not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 223 - Rear Impact Guard. The rear bumper vertical brace gussets were manufactured using lower grade steel than is required by the Standard. This would allow the bumper to fail by folding under the trailer at lower impact forces. Failure or the rear bumper could allow vehicles involved in a collision with the rear end of the trailer to run under the trailer, which could result in severe injuries to vehicle occupants. Correction: Dealers will reinforce the rear bumper assembly.
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 2005173.

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.
