On certain trailers equipped with toolboxes, the mounting system, which attaches the toolbox to the trailer, contains two aluminium brackets which may develop fatigue cracks. Over time, the brackets may fail, causing the toolbox to separate from the trailer. If the toolbox separates while the trailer is in motion, vehicles on the road are at risk of collision with the toolbox and its contents. Correction: Owners will need to locate a certified welder to have the remedy performed. Reinke will provide aluminium gussets along with detailed installation instructions for the welder.
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 2005241.

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.
